Other than running websites, I'm not sure any sports related pages have as many running stories as Deadspin.

Yeah, carb loading is pretty much a myth.
All I do is eat slightly more during the week of a big race.
The night before I ran Pikes Peak Marathon all I ate was a grilled chicken breast, brown rice, and pinto beans, and I had the best race of my life at just sub-5 hours.
My old running coach taught me the adage, "Carbo loading leads to carbo UN-loading"
Thanks for the post Jon.

A 4:55 marathon is not exactly something to brag about, even at Pikes Peak.

I don't think he was bragging

Yeah, I guess not. Although you have to admit 7800' elevation gain would probably add a few minutes to the PR.
It was my first time doing it, and I plan on going back next year to get sub 4:30, maybe you'll be impressed then?
