Carbohydrates are stored by the body in the form of glycogen,
~400g in your muscles and ~100g in your liver.
If you do the quick math, 500g X 4kcal = 2000kcal.
The carbohydrates stored by your body provide you roughly 2000kcal of energy.
The more carbohydrates stored by your body, the better you can maintain your tempo and delay reaching your exercise fatigue level.
While training you should replenish those continuously deflating glycogen stores! You need those carbs absorbed in your blood as fast as possible so that they can reach the muscles quickly!
You need to replenish your glycogen stores after exercising, too: take 1g of carbohydrates for each kg of your body weight, within 1 hour after exercising.
