I'll spend April and May training hard (as well as working) and report back. Just one thing though, how should I be eating to avoid feeling absolutely drained when I've just finished a 80min (or 25 miles for me) ride.
Should I eat before I go out, immediately after, during the ride or what?
I've been told to avoid high sugar, easily digestable food (eg chocolate) to avoid a sugar rush followed by a sudden low - and eat slow release food eg dried fruit and oat bars - does this make sense.
