Let's talk marathon carb loading
If you want to run a marathon as fast as possible then you should definitely carb load. We know that carb loading can improve your performance in a marathon by 2-3%, which is really quite significant!
So if you're running something like the London Marathon or the New York Marathon (or really, any marathon for that matter) then you should definitely carb load. But it isn't quite as simple as saying just eat more carbs so in this video I run through everything that you need to know to be able to carbohydrate load properly.
Get your nutrition for a marathon right and you'll be off to a flying start. I'm also going to be doing videos on marathon breakfasts and a complete marathon nutrition guide, so make sure you subscribe to stay up to date with my nutrition tips for a marathon.

In my day job I work as an Advanced Clinical Practitioner in General Practice, or Family Medicine for those of you not in the UK, and work in a busy NHS GP practice. I'm a Specialist Paramedic by background and have full independent medicine prescribing rights.
