Eating HUGE meal 2 nights before race

sounds decent.

Well it's not the glycogen that I am worried about so much, it seems to do the trick for my energy levels and eating heavy 2 nights before and light the day before and super light the morning of seems to be working and I wonder if anyone else follows the same thing religiously

I find that as long as my nutrition has been good a cheat meal is okay a couple nights before and then I usually don't eat much leading to the race so yeah. I probably wouldn't eat two XL pizzas though, but pasta until my stomach is about to pop, sure.

I've used this strategy for long runs and have had great success.

the calories in pizza are mostly from fat, so don't say "carbs"

what is your big "race"?

I do this, though not religiously. Typically load up two days out from races, normal the day before, light the morning of. I've never really done it for workouts or long runs, though I should probably try to do a better job of simulating race habits before workouts...

"Taking massive dump, 1 night before the race."

Or...

"Totally constipated and bloated during race."

It is enough just to eat a high carb meal and have a half portion extra if you want; no need to stuff yourself.
