Last week we touched on the basics of carb loading for endurance events. But what does this look like?
For a lot of endurance athletes they need in excess of 700g of carbohydrates in a day leading up to a big endurance event. That’s the equivalent of 45 slices of bread!
For other shorter events a carb rich meal or snack is adequate to give you the fuel required.
Here are some examples of our carb rich favourites;
Toast with sliced banana and honey
Homemade raspberry and oat muffins
Popcorn and a handful of dried fruit
Bowl of rice with steamed veggies
Jacket potato with all the fillings
And finally, who can go past a bowl of spaghetti with tomato based sauce!
