Carb loading is not for nitsies. I've been following the runner's world diet where 50% of my calories come from carbs, 25% from protein, and 25% from fat. Overall that's been going well. I can generally hit those percentages pretty close. But, with the Rock 'n Roll half coming up tomorrow, Ben and I have upped our carb intake. Runner's world suggestes upping your carbs to about 85-95% a few days before the race. You can read the article about it here if you're interested in it. Let me tell you, Woah Mother!! It makes a HUGE difference. I love carbs so i was super excited about this. Without changing my daily calorie intake I felt SO full, and bloated, and fat. I felt like Violet in Willy Wonka just waiting for the Oompa Loompas to come roll me around.
