2. Consider a well-trained 130-pound female marathon runner, Jordan. Jordan has just loaded up on a carbohydrate meal and has the maximum amount of stored glycogen (6.8 grams of glycogen per pound of body weight). (10pts)
a. How many grams of glycogen is Jordan storing in her body? Show your calculations.
b. How many Calories does she have stored as glycogen?
c. If this same number of Calories were stored as fat, how much would it weigh?
d. Given your answers to a. and c., why do you think your body stores most of its extra energy as fat rather than glycogen?
e. Jordan will be competing in a marathon (26.2 miles). Given her above glycogen stores and the rate at which she consumes them running at marathon pace, she only has enough glycogen to last for 24 miles. What must she do in order to be able to run at the same pace beyond this?
