In the lead-up to a marathon, runners often load their body with carbohydrates to ensure a constant supply of energy. Create a step by step flow chart to show how carbohydrate loading takes place in the lead up to a marathon. The role of insulin should be clearly included in the flow sequence. (AC 4.1).
