Document Summary
Adequate stores of glycogen leading up to an event can more than double the amount of time before fatigue. 58% of caloric intake should be from carbs. It takes 24 hours to replenish glycogen and 500-600g of carbs. Differentiate between the classical and modified methods of supercompensation. The more of a substrate there is available, the more our body is going to want to use it as a fuel source. If lots of carbs are ingested right before an event, we"ll have a lot more available as a fuel source and it could increase the rate at which we"re depleting them, which is the opposite of what you want. Before: 1-4 hours before the event, take in 1-4g/kg body weight. The purpose of this is just to top off stores, not maximize them. Taking in extra carbs in the days leading up to the event is what affects performance.
