To me, there is no point in doing bonk training. It simply doesn't make sense. There is almost no adaptation that I can see in depleting the liver and muscles of glycogen, other than making the rider weaker both in body and in brain function, and being able to recognise when s/he is about to bonk.

Brain function is something that is often left out of the refuelling equation.

RAAM is a completely different animal to a 50-mile B+ grade hammerfest.
