I know that marathon runners, etc, do it, but what about us normal folks? hehe
This weekend I'm going to be boogie boarding my old stomping ground for the first time in years. I'm going to be kicking my way down 26 miles of whitewater on Sat and 13 miles on Sunday. Now, while this kind of activity in the past was "the norm", it isn't any longer. And, when it was the norm - I ate whatever the hell I wanted, whenever the hell I wanted, and as much of it as I wanted because I required massive calories just to keep going. I don't eat that way any longer since I don't do that amount of exercise daily any longer.
What I'm wondering is: Would I benefit from some increased carb intake the next couple of days in light of the marathon and a half of work I'm about to do?
