Carb Loading Essentials

Many runners underestimate their carbohydrate needs, especially when preparing for a marathon. Aiming for 10 to 12 grams of carbs per kilogram of body weight can feel daunting, yet it’s crucial for optimal performance. Consistent carb intake throughout training is just as important as the three days leading up to the race. Practicing carb loading during key workouts can help ease the transition and prevent discomfort on race day.
