I personally don't exercise I train which is generally 5 days 9.5 to 10.5 hours per week. At the moment I do 2 days in the gym which are legs and core work and the rest is on the bike. I don't often get sore muscles but if do I will do a bit of foam rolling or stretching etc. I also have a physical job as a joiner.

Carbs are not bad for you especially things like oats which have a slow release energy release. Making you feel fuller longer and having a steady supply of energy. The only thing that makes you gain weight is eating too much.

You don't need a protien supplement it's more for convenience if difficult to get a source of protein after a training session. The trick is to use a supplement to enhance a good balanced diet. Your first choice should always be natural or as close to real food. Then if can't get by all means use a protien supplement

During the ride did you fuel yourself and after having your normal amount of food do you still hungry. If still feeling hungry just have a little more good food not empty calories

What aspect of it do you find nerving? Descending is really about building confidence and also in. Confidence and trust in the equipment. The. Best way to get better is to do repeats on a section of road also learn to look as far as ahead as possible so you have plenty of time to plan your braking entry and exit of a…

Simple be consistent

I personally don't run so I can't say if you should or shouldn't run through to see your own personal challenge out. For myself I would try to a back step and evaluate what is more important in terms of your goals. What is the best way forward to achieve or to be in the best shape possible and at your highest fitness level…

The problem is something you can't have is always more desirable when you can't have them. The best way I think is to never ban any foods. For the most part eat a balanced diet and things you can't go mad on have on a special occasion or as a treat once in a while not every day

My guess is under nutrioned also could be short of certain minerals like iron.

Use spd pedals Like mountain bike shoes then can clip in both sides of pedal and the cleat is. Recessed into the shoe allowing you to run

Have a goal to work towards work on a periodisation approach work on your weaknesses and most of all enjoy the journey

Possibly for your current fitness level I'd take one of the strength sessions out and give yourself 2 rest days during the week. Sometimes less is better and also good nutrition goes a long way

Back off so you're not breathing through your *kitten* and try not to worry about the faster swimmers , just hold your line and it's the faster swimmers problem to navigate around you

Thats a good one

For myself as a cyclist, then yes basically a week core to me is wasted energy and I want all the power to go in my legs so if my core can't resist the forces I'm losing power. It might not be exciting and look exciting to the outsider. To me it's very important a bit like foundations of a building just because you can't…

If you booked you simply didn't have any carbs to fuel you. We've all done it so don't worry about it. Any ride over 2 hours you shouldn't really have some food with you , energy gels Mars bars, malt loaf bananas to get an instant energy hit rice cakes and not the card bored ones Google Allen lim rice cakes

Calories burned relates to your size weight and fitness level. The bigger and heavier you are the more energy it takes to move your body and also the fitter your are more energy you can burn.

It doesn't matter all that matters is that you start. Everybody struggles with hard intervals no matter what level thier fitness is. The key is to be consistent and keep at it. Nobody gets fit on one session

Normally 2 days, but at the moment I'm on a taper for the weekend of testing all the power numbers so I've had 3 days rest. One day of hard intervals, an easy 30 minutes, no gym so I'm feeling super fit then on Saturday I've got to do a power profile Test and Sunday threshold Test of basically pushing myself to I'm about…

You look fine to me I can see a difference from the first pic look more toned

Presuming you still eat at the same times and the same sort of meals as before I think you should be able to judge the same amount of portion size as before. If start taking extra snacks of junk extra that you didn't when tracking, then obviously gain

Have fun

It's not something I've done or fancy to me it's a craze not to say it won't work , but to me I think of it as running your body on the worst fuel , instead of premium fuel. There is meant to be people who perform better on it but is rare. If doing probably a good idea to keep a diary on training and compare to previous…

Something I sometimes do to help my legs is get a sports massage in the past for when the legs are totally mashed it's basically like the pain went in a click of the fingers like magic. For your reps when you get to 8 do you feel you can carry on or really struggling ideally you want to be failing at 8 if can carry on,…

Intervsls and being very specific in the ride also play maths games. If just ride aimlessly on the trainer very boring but if do intervsls and have to be in a correct zone for 10 minutes power or heart and cadence at a certain revs then easy 5 mins or what ever the intervals are. Having something to concentrate on helps a…

Cycling is my main goal when I go to the gym for strength I will do a 5 mins warm up then 1 hour strength. I don't do after but my guess is do after acts as recovery session so a zone 1 easy to promote good recovery by flushing the body of toxins. I certainly wouldn't want to do 1 hour weights, then do 90 mins plus of hard…

At the end of the day you day I'm pretty sure you are capable of asking for help or advice if needed or wanted. Just go do your routine and enjoy.

Normal. It's not on the really low side but is still a good sign of a reasonable heart. Mine is around 42. Some people have resting heart rates in the 30s.
