The Best Way To Carb Load Before A Race
- Ever wonder what the best way to carb load is before your next big race?
- While research has described multiple techniques, one appears to be the most effective
- In the 3 days leading up to your race consume 600 grams or 8-10 grams of carbs per kg body daily in conjunction with a week of tapering and a rest day the day before the race
- This can enhance muscle glycogen stores by 20-40%
- Take home point…..EAT ALL THE CARBS and rest leading up to the race to perform your best
