Carbohydrates
Your muscles store carbohydrates in the form of glycogen. When you exercise, glycogen is broken down into glucose, or blood sugar, to provide energy. Intense exercise, such as sprinting or interval training, can rapidly drain your glycogen stores, as can a long run or bike ride. After your workout, your body uses carbs to replenish muscle glycogen. Because glycogen is synthesized most rapidly during the first few hours after exercising, carbing up soon after you train will help max out your glycogen supply
