So you are getting ready to run a marathon and want to know what you should eat in order to obtain the correct amount of energy. Carb loading is just what you need to do, and means loading up on foods that have a high amount of carbohydrates that will provide you with extra energy.

Glucose is what we need for energy and is considered the body’s fuel. Your organs, cells and muscles are all powered by glucose, and carbohydrates are easily transformed into useable glucose.

If you are planning on running a marathon or triathlon, I would recommend eating a lot of carbs to make sure that you do have an adequate amount of energy. You may ask yourself, does carb loading really work? and I will answer with Yes, it absolutely works. If you are looking to make sure you will have backup energy, then carb load, you are guaranteed to have enough energy to last you throughout the entire race.

The foods you should eat before running a marathon should not contain a lot of grease or fat, which will slow down the break down process, instead focus on eating breads, cereal, (not sugary cereals), oatmeal, pastas, and meats. So remember, eat your carbs before you run and you won’t regret it!
