Marathon Carbohydrate Loading

Here is a quick tip on how to get into absolute top physical condition in the week before your
marathon:

You may have heard about the importance of carbohydrate loading in the lead-up to your
marathon. The point here is that carbohydrates are broken down into glucose. Glucose is then further broken down into glycogen. Glycogen is then stored in your muscles and released as energy as you progress through the marathon distance.

The more carbohydrates you load into your system in the lead-up to the marathon, the better you will perform. If you lack enough glycogen in your system then you may be at a higher risk of hitting the wall at around the 15-20 mile mark.

To effectively increase your carbohydrate loading, you should increase your complex carbohydrate intake to around 70% of your dietary requirements in the final 2-3 days before your marathon for maximum effect.

That way you will increase your chances of avoiding hitting the wall and achieve the result to which you are capable.

Marathon Bible

"Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil."--James Allen

I believe James Allen has hit the nail on the head here. `As you dream, so shall you
become.' If you dream to run a marathon, then so shall you.
