What a weekend. 💥💥Total opposite to the previous one where I played on my new jump bike and hung out drinking beers at the beach! Followed up Friday’s brilliant MTB ride with four hours on @gozwift yesterday then a five hour ride today. I am now dead. Gimme all the carbs!!
.
New lid courtesy of @smithoptics.bike, thanks guys 🙏

Top ride with @dangrant_tq3 complete with trails through woods filled with bluebells, cider, pizza and plenty of hills. One of the best ever I’d say! 🍻

My obsession is 'Stamina'. What's yours?
.
It can be really hard to tick off all my training sessions as some of them are designed to be done when fatigued. This Saturday I have a four-hour turbo sesh scheduled ahead of Sunday’s 5 hour ride. Fancy a Zwift meet up anyone?
.
Pushing hard to adapt my body and mind to the demands of endurance racing, my obsession this year is stamina. I’m
proud to be part of @scienceinsport’s powerful campaign #ProgressionIsObsession as I challenge myself in a new way. #scienceinsport

My buddies @the_nltcbmbc have announced the date of their #fixedgearcrit and their new inclusive categories 🥳 So the question is, should I dust off the old #fixedgearbike and get involved?

New bike day! I’ve wanted a @marinbikes Alcatraz

New bike day! I’ve wanted a @marinbikes Alcatraz ever since I saw one and today is finally the day, thanks guys 🙏 Off to @trackportreath tomorrow but in the meantime I’m enjoying standard Cornish holiday stuff - freezing cold swims, fish n’ chips, rock-pooling, pasties and cider. Life ain’t too bad ☺️

I’d like to think I know a fair bit about nutrit

I’d like to think I know a fair bit about nutrition, the whole 60g of carbs per hour thing is pretty well known but I was less sure when that rule should kick in. On how long a ride? And at what intensity?
.
I quizzed my coach at @trainsharp so I know exactly how many @scienceinsport bars and gels I should take on and here is what he said:

* Endurance ride (3 hours plus) – 40-60g hour.

* Endurance ride less than 90 minutes – no fuelling required.

* Endurance ride 2 hours – 20-40g throughout.

* 60- 90 minutes of intervals – 20-40g throughout

* Less than 60 minutes of intervals – No on the bike fuelling required – Fuel beforehand though! So there you have it, @trainsharp’s suggestions for me. It’s worth nothing that different people can tolerate different amounts of carbs to others so it’s worth experimenting and making a note of what works for you.
.
With all the riding I’m doing I’m super happy to have the support of @scienceinsport, not least as their Energy Bakes are the bomb! Get involved using my personal code: JULIET10
