Dr. Michael P Vaughn answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Carb loading: Pre-exercise carbohydrate loading (the evening before a prolonged period of exercise) replentishes the liver's storage of glycogen. Glycogen is a fairly rapid source of glucose used to create energy. Spagetti or pizza is the preferred choice of many distance runners.
