Carb loading is not complicated. It just gets marketed that way.

Nutritionists love to dress this up — "clean carb" protocols, colour-coded meal plans, $200 loading guides — because "eat more carbs, any carbs, for two days" doesn't sell a program.

But the physiology doesn't care about your marketing funnel. Rice, pasta, a sports drink, a bag of jellybeans — it all becomes glucose, then glycogen. Your muscles aren't checking the label.

The only two things that actually move the needle:

Total grams (8–12g/kg bodyweight/day for 24–48hrs pre-race)

Whether your gut tolerates it

That's it. That's the whole "protocol."

As an endurance sports nutritionist, my job isn't to make this feel complicated — it's to strip it back to what actually gets you to the start line ready. Simple, done right, beats complicated every time.

Save this for taper week, and save your money next time someone tries to sell you a carb-loading meal plan.

Geelong Running Festival runners — read this before Saturday. 🔥

The forecast is going to throw heat at you that your training block didn't. Here's the uncomfortable truth: full heat adaptation takes 10–14 days, and most of you don't have that runway left.

But here's the good news — even a short, intentional heat block in the next few days banks 70–85% of the cardiovascular benefit. Lower heart rate at effort. Lower core temp. Less of that "suffocating" feeling at 25k.

What won't be fully dialled in by race day: your sweat efficiency and sodium retention — that's the piece that needs the full two weeks. So respect it. Adjust your pace goals. Load your sodium. Don't chase a time you set in cooler conditions.

🤯🧠 It's You Are Okay | Mental Health help for teens and young adults and I have not been ok!

I have more to say on my journey over the last few months but it will come later.

In the last 12 weeks, my family has lost a 2-year-old to cancer, watched my dad get diagnosed with terminal cancer, and lost my mum's husband—three tragedies in 6-12 weeks.

6 years ago — before any of that — I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I was a people-pleaser; I lost my marriage for a while; I lost friends; and I hit the darkest point of my life.

I didn't come back from that with one big decision. I came back by building a daily system: training, therapy, protected family time. Not because any single one fixes anything—because together they're the floor.

Right now, that floor is being tested harder than ever. I've upgraded to seeing a psychologist on top of ongoing counselling, and I've had to step back from work. And I'm still standing.

If you're a man reading this telling yourself you're "fine" — check that. Struggling isn't weakness. Building a system before you need it is the strongest thing you can do for yourself and the people who love you.

🧓You're not slower because you're older.

You're slower because you're recovering like you're still 25 — and it stopped working a while ago.

I've coached hundreds of marathon and ultra runners through this exact wall. It's never a fitness problem. It's almost always one of these 5 things.
