The pasta tradition is a bit overrated: carb loading happens over the last day or two, not in one meal.

The night before:

• Something familiar, not a new restaurant
• Low in fat and fibre
• A bit earlier than usual, so you sleep well

Loading protocol: carbohydrate loading.

What’s your go-to?

Practical ways to eat more carbohydrate in the last day or two: rice, pasta, potatoes, bread, fruit juice and sweet snacks. Choosing white bread and rice over wholegrain cuts fibre. That’s for pre-race days only, not everyday eating.
