l am going to run a half marathon and l was trying to think of high carb meals to make in the 2 days before the event l am not calling it a race as l just want to get to the finish line, and that would be an event for me, LOL
Any easy high carb meal ideas would be greatly appreciated Thanks

Pasta bakes and rice puddings were standards in the days when our boys were competing.

Some tips on nutrition here from SportsMed Canterbury :)
You shoulda basically starved youself by now so you expend all your carbs stores and then eat a lot of high GI carbs and the idea is that you super-compensate and store extra. Sports drinks, creamed rice, lollies are all easy options. Stay away from foods high in fat, protein & fibre in the last day as these can cause stomach discomfort as they are harder to digest/process. Good luck!
