How do you prepare for an indoor competition in 1 week?
Discontinue training and start "
Carbohydrate Loading." My plan is..
1 week prior to competition: Discontinue strenuos excercise and start stretching and drinking plenty of water. Doing some light aerobic excercise to keep the blood flowing.
3 days prior: completely discontinue any excercise? I've read that any excericse at this point will deplete your glycogen stores? At this point start eating nothing but carbs (90% of diet should be carbs?)
Morning of Comp: eat a carb breakfast, I'm thinking bagels?
So the questions is: How do some of you prepare in order to maximize your performance during a comp?
Opinions?
I think you might be over thinking this.
