Once a cornerstone of marathon prep, carb loading remains effective—but only for events >90 minutes. The goal: maximize glycogen stores with 8–12 g/kg carbs for 2–3 days pre-race. However, excessive loading without tapering can cause GI distress. Modern approaches favor moderate loading paired with strategic training. Carb loading isn’t obsolete—it’s refined.
