How early do you start carbo loading?
I'm doing a half marathon on Sunday and curious how soon to start stuffing the carbs, for some reason I thought I read 4 days, but back in high school it was only the night before, then 2 nights before after we got a better coach.
Eat your normal diet. You don't need to carbo load for a half.
No need to carbo load for a half-marathon if you're already eating a diet full of carbs.

Agreed, agreed.
Eat you 'normal' diet. If you want to add a little something to it, take in some honey with your regular meals. I have a buddy who drinks his toddler's Pedialyte with breakfast, lunch and dinner 2 days before his races. Works for him.
What part of the East Bay are you in? I'm in Pleasanton.
