Looking forward to carbo-loading the night before your big race? You may want to rethink that strategy, says Tom Holland, MS, CSCS, an exercise physiologist and author of
The Marathon Method.
"We all know that you need to carb up before the race, but stuffing yourself with pasta can end up making you feel fat, slow, and lead to GI issues," He says. Instead, Holland suggests fueling up with liquid carbohydrate drinks from your local health food store.
