I'm afraid I'll like it more then being a roadie, as I love the 'technical stuff' and getting involved in the whole works and then my wallet will go on a diet
Hey forum, I'm more then willing to attempt a MTB race with a friend, nothing hectic one day race to feel for the sport (something coming up beginning April) I know about the difference in gear and bikes Any tips from ppl here? Has anyone done a transition of such sort? *wondering*
This looks like a summary of everything being said on here The only sugar intake I have is fruit juices, fresh fruit. I don't drink coffee or tea so that's not a problem.... I think I may be onto something here....
I'm very happy I've elliminated: chips, fizzy drinks, take aways (still consume once or twice a month) bread / rolls (still working on whole wheat), cookies, choc, and I'm doing my best to get rid of mayo, ketchup and aromat. I've been successful at regular water intake at around 2-3l per day
Ok, so that confirms by belief of "starving yourself slows metabolism" theory that I've always practised. Balanced diet: check How about training in the afternoon after work on an empty stomach? Then replenashing the calories....
Ok Imma hav to print all this out and come to a conclusion on what to eat. Now another question: In the long run does starving yourself work? I've heard mixed stories... @Cervelo: what's your weight? I'm a 176cm and weight around 86-89kg, and I don't feel tired or as if I'm carrying excess fat p.s I roughly consume 2-3l of water per day, more during workouts and outrides during weekends
Hi fellow hubbers... I have a small request from all those reading this... Can you post your daily eating regime (healthy) what you eat and at more or less what time? how long it keeps you away from chow? and what are the benefits to yourselves. I know I could google this and see but I need something that has been tried by others and works, I'm looking to stay healthy and perhaps loose a few kilos. I'm also aware that not everything works for everybody, but I'd like options. Let me start: early morning (07h00) protein shake (1-2 bananas, other fruit, youghurt and a table spoon of jam + Evox whey protein) Lunch time at work is either 4 slices of low GI / whole wheat bread with peanut butter and jam, or cheese and chicken toasties or lunch tin full of mixed fruit After work (around 5pm) dinner that usually comprises of pasta (all home made) and that usually happens after my 20-25km training session Not sure if I'm doing it right...
As this was my first RaceTec race I couldn't get a proper seeding so was stuck in O groups, perhaps it was a lil fun I must admit, but sometimes it did my head in.... nom nom nom
because my dad was late for his group they also added 6min to his completion time... I think it's a bit silly... why dont the chips register your time only when u go pass the timing matt?
Oh man what an amazing time I had!! Started in group OC at 9h41 (first race on a RaceTec), and what a bunch I had with me hahaha... too-too batmans, supermen, chickens :-) cows the lot... What an awesome jol, battled the traffic and managed 4h 09min 09sec in the end... best spent Sunday in my entire life!! Peace ppl
