I get your point but not understanding your math. You expended ~5200 calories on your ride, which doesnt include calories for resting metabolic rate of probably 2000 calories. A total of ~7200 calories burned for the day. Your consumption was ~ 6200 calories. You overburned by 1000 calories that day.

I was going to restart jogging , but have ended up just going for hikes instead , walking up and down a steep hill where I live a couple of times . Have found this to be really beneficial and compliments cycling greatly. As u say , everytime I try and restart my running career every 10 yr cycle , I get injured 😅

JUST EAT STEAK...ITS FAT THATS THE KEY...GET OFF THE CARB ROLLER COASTER....MASTER CYCLIST OR NOT GOOD LUCK
@veloperformance 20 күн бұрын
Lols just steak. This is not good advice. Where’s the vitamins, minerals, pro and ore biotic fibre or antioxidants, polly and mono saturated fats coming from with just steak? If you eat a wide variety of whole foods and stick within your protein targets and calorie ranges that will be easier to stick to. You’ll reach your goals and can eat carbs too. Just eating meat is NOT HEALTHY ADVICE.

I always eat before training, if I ever do fasted training it is at Z2 and low duration i.e. 1.5 hours on the turbo but it only happens once or twice a year. I train 5 days a week, 2 recovery days and 1 of the training days is strength training

@grahambowes756 25 күн бұрын
Great stuff. There’s always chance to improve even for older cyclists. After a break of many years, I got back into road cycling. And consistent training lots of Zone 2 being part of that. In the last four years I’ve shed 16kg. Now weighing in at 60kg. I didn’t change my diet, just burnt the calories and eating a healthy diet. And I’ve not been fitter than I am now for many years. I’m 68 now and still love flying up those hills and enjoying being out on the bike. And I feel my longer term health will be much better for it. I look forward to watching more of your vlogs. 🙏

This last month I have been hit by this cold (Not Covid) which has knocked my training plans off quite a bit. I took a whole week off for the 1st week, then eased myself back in on the 2nd and third. Rolling out of the cold week 2 my power was down. It felt like my engine was broken which played a bit with my head. I remained patient and kept things steady. This vlog is documenting my return to training and its also a behind the sciences, week in the life of a on line coach/ I hope you enjoy it. Got any questions please just ask.

It’s all about looking at total calories and prioritising carbs around training. Not because they are fattening but when you are restricting food to lose body fat it’s best to keep energy consistent before and during training.
