Whether you’re a big fan of hawker food or a marathoner looking to fuel up before your run, here’s some good news!<\/p>\n
Lau Pa Sat will be throwing a carbo loading party next month in conjunction with the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2025, serving up unlimited hawker dishes for all to enjoy before the annual running event.<\/p>\n
Available dishes include char kway teow and hokkien mee as well as halal options like mee goreng and naan with curry \u2014 all cooked fresh by Lau Pa Sat hawkers.<\/p>\n
The buffet party will be held from 5pm to 7.30pm on Dec 5 and 6.<\/p>\n
Used by athletes, carbo loading is the practice of eating a lot of carbohydrates usually one to three days before a long endurance event such as running a marathon.<\/p>\n
It aims to create a larger “fuel tank” of stored muscle glycogen, a type of carbohydrate and the body’s preferred energy source during such activity.<\/p>\n
Carbohydrates also fuel the brain, aiding in maintaining focus and decision-making during endurance events, according to an article written by a dietician at Mount Elizabeth Hospitals.<\/p>\n
Consuming a high carbohydrate intake prior to a long-duration endurance event may delay the onset of fatigue and reduce risk of injury, further boosting the athlete’s capacity for sustained performance, research suggests.<\/p>\n
Aside from the feast, participants can take part in activities such as capturing their pre-race moments at the ‘Fuel Up’ Video Booth or customising their race-day look at the Personalisation Pit Stop.<\/p>\n
There will also be a Marathon Pro-Tip segment, featuring guest fitness coaches and trainers who will be sharing fitness tips to help marathoners prepare for their run.<\/p>\n
Tickets to this event are priced at $28 per person (before platform fees) and can be bought at https:\/\/rotisetgo.eventbrite.sg\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n They include access to two hours of the hawker buffet and all event activities.<\/p>\n For more information, visit https:\/\/www.laupasat.sg\/events\/roti-set-go\/<\/a><\/p>\n [[nid:723608]]<\/p>\n bhavya.rawat@asiaone.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
