Endurance athletes, make carbs your best friends. When you are running, cycling, or swimming, your body is using energy that comes from carbs. In fact, it's kind of like your muscles have these little teeny energy tanks in them, similar to how a race car has a gas tank. Your body's like a race car. The more laps a race car drives, the more pit stops it has to take to fuel up. Same goes for you. The more miles you put on your body, the more cardio you do, the more pit stops, AKA fueling, your body needs. That fueling comes from carbs, and that's going to keep your body running Nice and smooth.
