Okay, so this past holiday weekend I attended two picnics in one day. So during the course of the day, I ate more than I normally do and foods that I do not normally eat, e.g., homemade ice cream, cake, hamburgers, various breads, etc. Overall, my diet yesterday was pretty starchy. The food was all delicious but I had attempted to go back out and run today, and boy my GI tract did NOT like me at all. I was tired from having to work during the day so I went out intending to maybe run 8-10 miles but instead barely got 5 in.
So, the lesson for the day when marathon training, maintain your regular diet! Carb loading does not mean that you need to eat lots of carbs within a 24 hour period. More realistically, it needs to be done over several days. For now, I consider myself having learned the lesson the hard way...
