  • Summary

  • Fueling your body properly for running is a fairly complex process, but it can be best summed up in one phrase called glycogen metabolism. Understanding the basics of glycogen metabolism is essential to creating a fueling plan that will enable you to train and race your best. And the science is actually quite fascinating.
