A Couple Of "Bonk" Questions
Let's assume that you went out on a long ride without enough fuel before/on the ride and you bonk bigtime.
If after the ride you stayed on a SUPER low carb (say less than 10 grams per day) diet, I assume that through some process of digesting fat and protein that your glycogen stores would eventually be replenished. Is that correct and how much 'extra time' would it take (plenty of post ride calories but just no carbs).
Is there any value in incorporating bonks into your training? I was wondering if training in a state of glycogen depletion might improve the rate at which your body can convert fat to glucose.
Thanks.
