Host Sally Hed Dahlquist is here to help you understand how to power your body through races with carboloading.

Whether you haven't quite mastered your perfect pre-race diet (looking at you, microwaved rice cups!) or you'd just like a biology nerd to explain how your body stores and uses fuel, this is the tip you've been waiting for.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • Some of Sally's favorite foods to power up for race day
  • Tips for making the best out of less-than-ideal options available at pre-race festivities
  • What foods to avoid if you don't want to bonk at mile 20
