Carbo Loading Down Under

"The Western Australia
Carbo-Loading Method

1. During the pre-race week, eat normally while training lightly until the day before a longer race.
2. On the morning of the day before the race, perform a very brief, very high-intensity workout.
3. Consume 12 g of carbs per lb. of body weight over the next 24 hours."

Going to try this. Also be aware of this note:

"The Western Australia carbo-loading strategy works best if preceded by a proper taper -- that is, by several days of reduced training whose purpose is to render your body rested, regenerated, and race-ready."


Good luck!
