Want to Increase Your Carbs?

People that are training for a marathon may want to consider increasing their carb intake.

Do this simple formula; multiply your body weight by four.  The answer is the number of grams of carbohydrates you should eat each day.  If you eat less, then your leg muscles may become glycogen deficient….meaning they lost their muscle fuel.  Less glycogen leads to a lower quality work-out and an increased risk of overtraining.
