    What exactly do you consider to be a carb and what are you not considering carbs? Like, are you discounting fruits and veggies as wonderful carbs?

    I was on a cut with low carbs when I gave myself 5 weeks to train for two half in two days over the weekend. It was absolutely brutal on me, and loaded the carbs by the middle of the third week. I had some mid energy and my performance was slacking. Not to mention I got a little cranky I was told, and that is not me at all.

    I don't think I will do it ever again...

    Oh no I just originally wondered if I'd have to change how I'm eating now once training starts!

    Potatoes and squash are up there for go to carbs and I eat a fair bit of veggies as is currently just no real bread, pasta rice kind of stuff!
