Hi

 

I normally cycle quite well and have a fair bit of power.. But i Sunday I struggled up satellite Hill and generally did not have the power and strength I normally have.. In fact satellite was a struggle..

 

Any idea why and how I can avoid feeling weak..

 

I'm weekend warrior doing around ave 21 kph and am not sick.

 

Sounds like a classic case of too little beer.

 

Drink more beer

everyone can have a bad day in any sport.if it continues i would start looking for answers.

Like the SHARKS had last weekend. It happens to everyone now and then, just hope it doesnt happen on race day.

Thanks.. So rest and eat pasta and potatoes..

 

Lay off the pasta.

Sunday was cold and if your legs weren't sufficiently warm the muscles would have stayed cold, this will affect your power quite heavily.

Drink less it will allow you to breathe properly

 

Drink water it will help make u lean which will help your power to weight ratio improve

 

Power is like money, you want more you need to invest more, in other words train more. There are no short cuts that you can simply swallow.
