    Diet for endurance/remaining big

    So Bros,
    What would I want to change about my diet, when training for an endurance event (a half-maration). I don't want to loose muscle (not much, anyway).
    I know I'll need more carbs...
    Any suggestions? I want to design an appropriate diet.
    Also...supplements...I know glutamine (which I take anyway) will help.
    Any other ideas?

    Thanks bros.

    vitamin c 3 grams before a marathon is shown to reduce cortisol levels with upp to 30%. So take like 10 grams/day of vitamin c the bulk of it before your endurance training.

    low gi carbs all the time during the day would also help. Beans, brown rice, whole grain pasta, lentils.

    OK. I see.
    I have been trying to do a glycemicaly low diet.
    so, Johan, as far as Vit. C goes, should I take it as a sup. or do I get enough of it from a diet rich in fresh vegetables and fruit?

    you need to take a vitamin c supplement. Choose either ascorbic acid or sodium ascorbate.

    Its very hard to get upp to several grams of vitamin c from veggies and fruits. Close to impossible especialy with the quality of fruit and veggies today

    Oh...I see. How come?
    Also, if I take a multi-vit., that takes care of some vit. C.
    Can you get too much of it?

    most veggies contains only like 50mg vitamin c for every 100g of veggies. You would have to eat like 20 pounds of veggies to get those levels

    Vitamin c cant be overdoses. When you reach 15-20 grams you might get diharrea and that is your tolerance level of it.

    multivitamins usualy only contain 50-100mg of vitamin c. you need 30-100 times as much for the cortisol lowering effect
