Q: Should I carbo-load the night before a big race?
A: Eating extra carbohydrates won't help you
run faster or longer for races less than 90 minutes. But for longer races (triathlons, marathons, etc.), you'll want to make carbs
the focus of your nutrition strategy in the weeks leading up to the race—carbs
should be at the center of all meals and snacks. Then as you head into the
tapering phase of your training, simply keep your calories and carbs the same as
the weeks prior. This will help keep your body properly fueled heading into race
day.
The night before the race, eat a balanced meal comprised of whole grain
carbs, lean proteins, and healthy fats with generous
portions of fruits and vegetables. On race day, have a pre-race snack such as a
bagel with peanut butter an hour or two hours prior to lining up. And don't
forget to hydrate with water and sports drinks such as Gatorade at each fueling
station to maintain your carbohydrate and electrolyte balance during the
race.
wheelchairindia9 on 15 Apr 15The Internet has become an integral part of all of our lives. We use it to do our work, connect with people and gain knowledge about various subjects. As our representatives, many of you use it to gather research about the issues faced by your constituents, the challenges faced by different parts of our country, and the expert knowledge needed to legislate for India's future and shape our national decisions. Today, the Internet in our country is facing the danger of losing its neutrality, which is vital to ensure that it grows to reach many more of our fellow Indians - and the people who use it innovate further. In the interest of furthering this cause, we have launched a campaign with fellow Indians who wish to 'Save the Internet'. This letter is addressed to Parliamentarians who have already taken or are considering taking a position on the recent consultation paper released by the TRAI for Internet licensing and net neutrality. We are grateful for the support we have received and the various public statements made by several of you which cut across party lines. Through this letter we wish to point out the intent and purpose of saveinternet.wheelchairindia.com campaign and also the call for a larger network neutrality law in India.
