Um, hardly anyone ever gets to an elite runner! I think your formula might work for someone with not much weight to lose, but what would you do if those extra carbs pack on pounds? I try to save my carbs for race day, but its hard to get trained for race day on the carbs that allow me to maintain my weight and not gain. It's a dilemma! |
