Carbo loading tips for you
Is carbo loading effective? Is carb loading worth doing? Should you carbo load before a marathon?
Yes, to all of them! Carb loading is an invaluable tool for endurance athletes because of the impact it can have on performance. Through it, you have a chance to improve your performance somewhere in the realms of 2-3%. That might not sound like much, but that's the equivalent to 8 minutes over a 4 hour race.
So if you're wondering how long to carb load for, whether carb loading can help you run faster or any other carbo load guide questions, by the end of this video you should know the truth!

Hi! I'm James. I'm a Sport and Exercise Nutritionist and I make videos on nutrition to give people simple, clear and easy to use information on a range of subjects. I focus on triathlon and how triathletes can use nutrition to help properly fuel their training and racing.
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.

I am not affiliated or sponsored by any brands, companies or products that I mentioned or show in my videos. My aim is to make these videos free from any sort of bias!
