Great advice! I can’t agree more about the correlation between hydration and muscle soreness, and would add carbohydrate intake during the ride. It never ceases to amaze me how much better I feel during and after long (6+ hours) rides when I hit around 100g carb per hour (at 80 kilos). When I get hydration and carbs right over a big day, muscle soreness afterwards is often totally absent. It takes time and effort to get both dialled, but it’s absolutely worth it.

This summer I really started to enjoy multi-hour rides at z2. Started to eat more during rides and felt fine after rides - no sore muscles or pain in neck or lower back. Just pure power and stringer than 20 years ago. And then I swapped my summer sandals I use for autumn shoes...and during longer ride at end started to feel one knee getting sensitive. Two weeks later I went for same distance just in opposite direction, beautiful autumn day, colorful leaves, golden autumn light, warm and slow southern wind...isn't it a dream? Amidst of distance knee got sensitive and I knew it's gonna be a problem - but I decided to continue, but alas, I had no real choice - either 40km forth or 40km back. Last 20km terrain is rolling hills and one knee was so sore that I pedaled mostly using just other leg. At the end is steep hill about 1km long so I just walked my bike up hoping I'll catch last train home. I did cause my glutes now are strong and one covered other at rest, but that's not the way to end ride like this. Lesson? Don't ignore body signals and never do long rides after doing major changes in your system (shoes, bike, sickness). This can end up unexpectedly...

Something that you may be unaware of is that sipping water or other drinks throughout the day is bad for the teeth since it prevents good saliva forming that fights plaque formation. It's best to have gaps of at least 1 hour where no food or drink is consumed.

The gearing issue can be more or less 'self-solved' by keeping your cadence up - 90 or better usually.

The small ring is often not enough. Usually, that‘s a 1:1 ratio in the best case. A lot of people including myself need a smaller gear. I am doing my Z2 rides on the gravel bike or MTB to keep the cadence high.

I got sore legs for the first time in years the other day. They came from a long 74 minute standing Threshold climb on MT Hamilton on Zwift.I think hydration and carbs afterwards and the fact I was standing at VO2 max for the climb . So your advice rings true... Coach!! Eat and drink heaps before and after, actually all the time as I need to fatten up!!😂

Everything spot on except the hydration bit there coach. Sipping vs gulping is an absolute myth. I'm not saying to drink 4 liters in 1 go. Cause that's how you get the runs and tp on your shoe. As long as you drink 1 liter per 2 hours up to 3.5 to 4l a day you're fine to chug or sip.

#Q: Hi Coach, lots of valuable Info, as always. Thanks. When talking about Grams of Protein per Kg Bodyweight, do you refer to the total Bodyweight or the lean Tissue? I weigh 87 kg, 21% fat, so 87/69 Kg = 110 g (@ 1.6g lean) vs 191 g (@2,2 full ). Im argueing with my wife all the time, as she thinks my call for more Protein is wrong and unhealthy (no Kidneyissues). Main sources in our house are Eggs, fresh Seafood, Salmon, Tuna, other fish, Quark (sort of a white creamy cheee), legumes. Right now i m trying to get at least 100 g in.

I got big issues with my shoulders and with numbness/paralysis I think I need to do more strength training and less of endless cardio. My vo2 max is amazing and I work out like 5-9 hours a day but I am probably better off trying to shorten and intensify things just problem is my life is very depressing outside of working out so I like to make work outs last all day.

If I ride in easier gears, I can't keep up to anybody. A lot of spinning is good, maybe, but don't get in the habit of it. Do you like being last on your group rides, like me? Do harder gears. Suffer. This is cycling. Otherwise, just spin and enjoy your time alone. The whole sport makes no sense.
