Belly fat

[J Wakefield]

I believe this - there are lots of highly trained fatties in the A bunch... scary thing is if they all where to lose the weight how fast would they be???

 

A group now is what F group used to be back in the day unfortunately.

Asking the real questions I see!

I ask it in jest, but there is a serious element to it. I wonder what I would say to my (much) younger, very competitive self if he asked for performance advice now. Eat better might be one, but relax and enjoy it more would probably be first. And I wonder given today's stressed lifestyle of 90% of those of us who do want to improve would benefit more from enjoying a milkshake or two and just enjoying the ride. (or perhaps it really is just me!)

Team sky on nutrition and body weight and power to weight.

What you also need to understand or take into serious consideration that lighter isnt always better. Yes, when you do a W/kg calculation it looks fantastic cause power is up, however each person has a threshold. Lose to much weight and you cannot produce the power, you don't recover from hard intensity and you have no sustainability. You smash 500W for intervals 1 and 250W for the 3rd.

Personal example is that at 61kg - 8/9% and Im good, numbers are good and so forth. Drop to 59/60kg and Im completely crap but the calculations show I should be better but Im not.

 

Age group riders look at 12-15% BF range and work from there.

 

Lighter often isnt always better.

But how on earth do you know what your optimum cycling weight is? Or is it just individual trial and error?

Trial and error in many ways.

There was actually an article on it I recall... or was it a Ted video. But basically saying that the guys now days who often rise to the top are the ones who've managed to keep having fun in their various sports. Not going full Wiggins on it and enjoying the amazing lives their sports have given them and the amazing opportunites they have to do and see things they wouldn't otherwise. It makes sense to me, I can barely keep up a serious training block for one week

Every one and Pro sports athlete took up their chosen sport cause they enjoyed it and it was fun. when you remove the fun element you doing something very wrong.

 

Same as when you go the start line and butterflies in your stomach are no longer present or you not nervous its time to call it a day.

 

I've always lived by that small motto.
