Carboloading

Carboloading, o carga de carbohidratos, es una práctica común entre los deportistas de fondo. Dos días antes de un evento de larga duración, la dieta es modificada para cargar al cuerpo de carbohidratos. En resumen, se consume comida bajísima en grasa, muchísima agua, se come unas cinco veces al día, y solamente carbohidratos. Como se podrán imaginar, esta parte del plan de entrenamiento me fascina: he hartado pastas de lo lindo!

Carboloading is a common practice among endurance athletes. It consists of a special diet that must be followed during the last days before the sport event. When carboloading, one must eat very very little fat, drink a lot of water, eat at least five times per day, and eat mostly carbohydrates. As you can see, this part of the training plan is sooo cool: I've been eating pastas like crazy, and enjoying it very much!
