@wendsg I did the Hell hole race once in FM but crashed really bad and never went back! So many gravel roads in there...

71.89 Gravel 598.8 Ytd After 10 days off the bike I thought it would be a great idea to jump in a gravel race. I'm not too smart, haha. Felt great the first 55 miles then had some cramping issues which were made worse by the constant climbs. For most of race I was in a group with 3-4 tri-dudes... these guys love to motor…

80.54 Road 476 Ytd Ride today was 51˚ overcast, damp, misty, rainy, no wind... so perfect conditions. 😜 I did have to grab 2 plastic bags at my food stop and stuff them in my shoes to warm up my feet a little. https://www.strava.com/activities/8622007063

You may want to look into a rocker platform for your trainer (allows side to side movement to simulate real riding, some go fwd and back too) if you are doing these epic zwift sessions. A friend has one and says it makes a huge difference (he does 4+ hr rides).

What works for me is not to add the exercise calories back in if the workout is an hour or less. Over that I need the extra calories to actually make the workout effective. Plus I don't add in all the calories back, maybe half or so. 600 cal/hr is certainly doable and something I do all the time, but it is a fairly hard…

The one problem I can see is it will set you up to be really hungry all day long...

Impossible "meats" Protein bars Sodastream fizzy water Trader Joes Indian food Noda Hop Drop and Roll IPA (on the days I am under my daily goal by 220cal!)

26.29mi (2:41) MTB Ytd 139.1 all MTB Omg... what a difference a day makes. Ate better before the ride and drank some gatorade for the carbs. Just felt strong the entire day and was crushing it from start to finish. After dinner (and an IPA) I'm only 364cal over my target (1600cal). Was a bit disillusioned yesterday on how…

Ride: 16.5mi Ytd: 112 (all mtb) Today was my first attempt at a longish ride after starting caloric restriction (1600). I felt slow, flat, lethargic, mentally foggy, unfocused. Normally I would do 2.5hrs or more but today barely managed 1:30. But other than that it was a great ride, haha. I either need to either up my…
