In long distance running, and more broadly in endurance sport such as ironman and cycling, there are a lot of myths circulating about carb loading (aka carbo loading, carbohydrate loading). In this ultra marathon running training tip video, we discuss everything you need to know about carb loading before your race.
More specifically, we debunk common misconceptions, discuss about basics physiology, and present some of the evidence supporting carbloading.
