COMMENTS/INSIGHTS: Day before the day before the race! Trying to keep eating really methodical this week with extra carbs. “Old school” running advised eating high protein for the first few days of the week of the marathon and then “carb loading” 2-3 days before the race; however, I’ve learned that research shows that the “new school” way works just fine, namely: continue to eat a balance a carbs and protein in 5-6 small meals for the beginning of the week; then increase carbs so that total diet is 60 – 70% carbs (vs. protein) the last 2-3 days before the race. I’m keeping my diet basically the same but adding Cliff Bars and having pasta for dinner on consecutive nights.
