Why you Suck at Carb-Loading

Why you Suck at Carb-Loading

Most triathletes think they’re carbohydrate loading by eating a bowl of pasta the night before their race. I hate to break it to you, but this doesn’t even come CLOSE to what you need to super compensate your muscle glycogen stores to effectively carbohydrate load.

In this episode I cover:

  • What is Carbohydrate Loading?
  • Who would benefit from Carbohydrate Loading?
  • What events should you carbohydrate load for?
  • How do you do it?

Tune in to find out to unlock a 1-3% performance advantage!
