Question on the RW forum... - El Gordo - 15-03-2010
"At what point before a marathon should you start carbon loading?"
RE: Question on the RW forum... - marathondan - 15-03-2010
Probably about 300 years, to mitigate anthropogenic climate change?

When I ran my fastest marathon I only carbo loaded for the day before - don't think this is the long enough though - should probably be 3-4 days.

Hmm ... never tried that before. Is that some kind of kinky thing with a fishing rod? I think we should be told ...
Surely the question should be 'at what point before a marathon should you stop carbo-loading?
RE: Question on the RW forum... - stillwaddler - 16-03-2010
I think carb loading takes years to master properly, so I think I'd recommend about three years.
If you don't have the dedication for three years solid training, maybe carb load alongside the taper?

My sentiments exactly.
