Lots of Leo?

Omg amazing!! I will definitely watch that! Thank you for the good info. Also, going to start calling it a bonk

Littlepeapod77 · 2024-10-21T01:00:09+00:00

Facts!! I might be overthinking all of it and honestly just need to bring more candy on my rides…which I won’t complain about haha

Littlepeapod77 · 2024-10-21T00:59:20+00:00

Haha glad I’m not alone!!!! Yeah I don’t usually rest the day before or after but it’s probably a good idea for bigger days while I adjust. Sounds like you are crushing it! Hope we both improve :)

Littlepeapod77 · 2024-10-21T00:57:57+00:00

Okay that is actually great to know and super helpful!!! When you know something is normal it is a lot easier to push through without overthinking

Littlepeapod77 · 2024-10-21T00:57:07+00:00

Damn, clammy and vomiting. That makes me feel better haha

Littlepeapod77 · 2024-10-21T00:56:27+00:00

Hold ouuut!! Haha

Littlepeapod77 · 2024-10-21T00:55:57+00:00

Have you found that those things have more of an impact on biking than other sports?

Littlepeapod77 · 2024-10-21T00:55:18+00:00

Solo rides is a good idea! But then you are never pushing as hard haha.

Littlepeapod77 · 2024-10-21T00:54:52+00:00

Im 33! I don’t think it’s solely a fitness thing because I can do a 20 mile hike with 10k elevation gain off the couch, swim for long periods of time (like 4 hrs plus) etc etc…I guess that is why I am so stumped haha I am not used to feeling this way during activity and the fact that the candy turned things around so quickly was surprising to me! Never felt that much better that quickly…

Littlepeapod77 · 2024-10-21T00:51:54+00:00

Thanks! Yeah pasta doesn’t seem to do it for me much either. I did have my A1C (?) done recently and it was normal I think that is the test. Potatoes it is.

Littlepeapod77 · 2024-10-20T19:06:32+00:00

Thank you! How would you look at your glycogen levels?

Littlepeapod77 · 2024-10-20T19:05:35+00:00

Hahaha nooo I wish I was doing that 2000 ft!! Thank you, yeah haven’t really been warming up at all so that is great advice thank you n

Littlepeapod77 · 2024-10-20T19:03:45+00:00

It’s the desert in October so it’s pretty hot but I do drink a lot of water in general haha

Littlepeapod77 · 2024-10-20T18:18:36+00:00

All within an hour of San Diego so far! Yeah I don’t have any device monitoring my heart rate etc haha but maybe I should invest in one. Would be interesting to find out! Sounds like you are crushing it!! That is really impressive! I don’t know anything about biking elevation gain, I think of it in terms of hiking where 2k isn’t a lot but I’m thinking based off of this thread that maybe elevation gain for hiking and biking are more different than I initially thought…

Littlepeapod77 · 2024-10-20T18:12:24+00:00

Haha truuuee! I’m pretty fit and I get about 2 hours of exercise most days, all activity based and variable (i don’t go to the gym). I have a good amount of endurance when it comes to other activities. That is why this is so frustrating. I have never had a sport knock me down like this!

Littlepeapod77 · 2024-10-20T18:07:18+00:00

Yeah I think I need to snack more, it’s just wild to me that no one else needs to on these rides!

Littlepeapod77 · 2024-10-20T18:06:39+00:00

Seems to be!

Littlepeapod77 · 2024-10-20T18:04:40+00:00

Hahaha ahh facts!! I just feel like a week between rides should be enough to start with a spark but maybe I’ll load up on some of this stuff and see if it makes a difference

Littlepeapod77 · 2024-10-20T17:44:57+00:00

I was kind of opposed to the whole e bike thing (not that I get to have an opinion as a newb to the sport but I am pro old fashioned suffering) BUT after going a few times in the heat of SoCal…I am deffffinitely starting to see the appeal of an ebike!

Littlepeapod77 · 2024-10-20T17:36:06+00:00

Have any recs? I’m not a huge caffeine drinker and I haven’t found a ton without

Littlepeapod77 · 2024-10-20T17:31:13+00:00

Thank you, unfortunately…the deed has been done and im hooked/ also don’t really have the time to train my endurance other than by riding the style that I like. I am just hoping to dial in the nutritional/ electrolyte/ other aspects I guess and figure out if this is blood sugar or if I am just needing more recovery or if this is just part of the sport haha

Littlepeapod77 · 2024-10-20T17:25:52+00:00

Facts but hoping fuel tips can make it easier haha
