I buy Wal Mart brand, and I eat one package about an hour before my workout. It has not given me crazy, explosive mind blowing results- but I am not fatigued after my first warm up set. I am not saying get crazy with carbo loading, just a personal observation.

"Warm-up set" sounds like weight lifting, so that would be irrelevant.
I always thought that carbs were loaded the night before, not immediately preceding, like in "The Office"'s "Fun Run."

I do it before my 5ks, also. For <$2 to get packets of about ~150 calories, and looking for more energy, it may help. Again, not talking about eating 3lbs of pasta.
You don't have to try it, just something that worked for me.
