most I've ever run at one time was 18 miles. Can't imagine tacking on another 82.

Hey... which SLY bros (Paul has already weighed in) can give me some more advice on carb loading for my run tomorrow?

I've read some articles in Runners World, but can't zero in on specifics.

Does eating quality carbs during the day/night before load you up for a run the next day (it'll be before noon, most likely)?   I simply cannot eat within at least 4 to 6 hours before running = SIDE ACHE.

In addtion to whole grains, rice, potatoes....what else?

Thanks for yer help......what about articles you could point me to?....thanks!!

OK....here's a snippet in line with what I'm talking about.....does this ring true with y'all other runners?

Keep in mind....that you only really need to carb load if you're doing more than 90 minutes of high-intensity exercise. Although a tough kickboxing class, a speedy 10K or even a three-hour afternoon spent on your feet shopping may kick your butt, the fatigue you feel usually isn't from depleted energy stores. "If you're running a 10K, you're running for less than an hour, so carb loading is unnecessary as long as you've been eating a high-carb diet and have rested the day or two before," says Craig Broeder, PhD, clinical exercise physiologist at Benedictine University in Lisle, IL.

I'm only running 1.5 miles (i.e. not a marathon) but with the speed I have to maintain with my larger-than-average frame.....I want to leave little to chance as far as keeping my edge as sharp as possible.

the night before a race, I like fruits (cantelope and bananas in particular) and maybe a PB&J sandwich for dinner. Wash it down with a Gatorade. The morning of the run, I'd usually have an apple, some dried fruit (dried papaya if you can get it) a cup of coffee and a piece of toast (margarine & jam).

I know, not glamorous, but effective. It's worked for me for the three half marathons I've run in the past.
