CARBO LOADING

  • You do not need to carbo load for races
  • It’s like cramming before a test – doesn’t work
    • People sometimes taper off the week before, then eat absolute trash right before a race!
  • This will often make you feel worse!
  • You can’t ‘supersoak’ yourself full of carbs
  • You’ll only increase inflammation, hurt your stomach, sleep badly, etc.
  • Zach Bitters holds world records and does not eat carbs
    • Lots of ultra-athletes are super low carb, even right before a race
  • Don’t eat bananas morning of
    • Have an avocado instead
  • There’s a difference between something that is fattening and something that is full of fat
