Bonking and fast metabolism

[nuge]

Have a coffee with no sugar before you ride. It will take a week to 10 days on average - if you do regular sessions - and your body will light a fire under those fat stores.

 

Mates of mine did a study at SSISA where they had to ride multiple 200k sessions on stationary bikes whilst subsisting on high-fat diets. The results showed their systems adapting to the high fat diet over a period of weeks and at the end of the study they had actually lost weight. Not suggesting we all eat lard on toast for breakfast - but today's food is typically full of refined sugars and starch. Which means there's no motivation for your body to burn that fat.

 

Tarmac can tell you more if he is about today.

thanks luke, maybe i'll have a chat to him tomorrow at killarney.

 

i heard about the 200km sessions - apparently the guys got really bored and wanted to kill by the end of each session.

DC in a lab - no chance you will catch me volunteering for that ****. Death by boredom.

I can't even handle 15min on a trainer and I am bored beyond comprehension!
