CREW Cycling Crew 2022 - Older, slower, fatter, makes you badder

[black jesus]

No offense but at 33.5 miles you don't need a mid ride snack especially if thats only once or twice a week type of thing. Just keep the distance up and your body will adjust.

Sure but you want your body to store more glycogen in the muscles and dispatch glycogen and fat for fuel.
A common mistake people make is eating too much and using moderate cycling as an excuse to eat anything. The body doesn’t work that way and Id be shocked if he was doing 33.5 miles of threshold intervals.

The other mistake is eating too little (I fall into this sometimes) but if 33.5 is his longest ride ever he’s likely not eating too little or glycogen depleted unless it’s intervals five days a week for 30 miles at a pop. If that’s the case he’s Superman and we should all be taking notes.

I'm not qualified to pick this shit apart but my coaching people talk about this in detail, frequently, and I'd always eat before and during a ride for anything over 1 hour even at low intensity.

The calorie number comes from my Garmin watch and I didnt eat anything before I started. Was drinking water with Nuun tablets.

Of course you exploded and bonked. 75-120g CH/hour is my target for ranging from easy Z2 up to simulated heart attacks. I quit telling people I race with this stuff, will continue to allow them to bonk during CX races and marathon XC.

What is CH/hr?

 

[6SpeedTA95]

Yea.. woke up, loaded the bike on the rack, and rolled out. May have contributed to things.

I start all my rides fasted. If it’s under 40 miles I usually don’t eat anything unless I’m doing vO2 work.

You won't do that fasted or under-fueled shit after listening.

I barely follow anyone but this local kid is insane. I think it's ok to post because it's a public profile. Just an easy spin the day before a race

Not sure how many of you guys are in the Strava OT group but I was wondering who is who. Seeing if anyone wants to post or PM me their username.

I didnt realize there was a group, lemme get that invite..

Carbohydrate per hour.

So you're aiming to consume that much before/during your ride to make those numbers work? So a 2hr ride you're consuming 150-240g of carbs before/during?

I struggle to eat more than 75g CH in most workouts. However, I did an MTB race and broke every power record at and under three hours and ate 90g CH per hour.

They don't have enough people working crowd control at Tulsa Tough. I'm guessing because so many laypeople go to watch.

I joined that group a few years ago nothing ever happens in there and I don’t even show any activities for myself which is odd.

 

[black jesus]

Holy shit

Turns out it was a homeless and crazy dude walking around. Also, hot enough yesterday that people had seizures from the pro race.

??? We heard he was not homeless but an anti cycling guy who had done the same at two other events at TT. He was drunk and trying to cause issues.

Oh, wow. Also likely.

I assumed people's activities would show up on my feed. Guess it's just for members to visit the page and compare miles..?
