School me on carb-loading

Next Sunday is the marathon run.  I hear that one carb-loads for such things, and that carb-loading isn't just a big bowl of pasta the night before.  Edumacate me!

The boffins at Mayo Clinic go with depleting too. They also suggest that carb-loading isn't as effective for women - it's a grey area.
