Chris, i usually follow up a run with a proshake to help my muscle repair process (24g per shake). I've never heard of carbs contributing to muscle build before, i thought they were stored by the body as a fuel source in whatever form. Are you saying that i could increase muscle build by carb loading? If so how? I only run short distance so i have no current carb loading 'program'.
