My pre-marathon carbo-loading isn't going well. It was bad enough that I had to cut my (penultimate) training run short when I came over all dizzy.
I've probably been taking in the wrong types of sugars/carbohydrates. Mixing up isotonic drinks seemed like a good idea, but it's really not cutting it if I feel 'hitting the wall' pains at 14 miles. At the same time I have to admit to not increasing my starch intake. Bread, pasta and rice consumption has been static. And I'm paying for this mistake now.
I've two weeks to fix matters. That's two weeks of heaps of pasta, rice and (because its an easy snack) bread. I'll have to wait until morning though, as the corner shop is closed.
