Carb cycling and running

Anyone else out there carb cycling and distance running? I'm doing Chris Powell's fit cycle and need help determining when my splurge day should be. Should it be my long run day, or a different day so I will actually go over my caloric needs?

I generally only do this (purposefully) prior to a marathon (or a long training run). You will probably find many people with opinions on this issue here:
