Hard Block Week Glycogen Prep
A hard block week glycogen prep batches extra starches and fruit for overload training weeks—labeled fuel ready when post-session appetite is low.
A hard block week glycogen prep cooks extra rice, potatoes, oats, and fruit portions for a deliberate overload week—long runs, race simulation, or high-volume lifting—so starch is ready when appetite lags after sessions. Label containers by session, not generic lunch, and pair with adequate protein so carb loading is not sugar-only.
Taper prep volume when the block ends.
Common questions
-
Should every athlete carb prep extra each week?
Only during planned high-load blocks. Standard weeks use normal starch portions; save glycogen prep for measurable volume spikes, not routine stress eating.
