I hit six oooooh in Jan next year. Had a Pacemaker fitted this year. (to me - not my steed) Better than any carbon upgrade or fancy saddle or banana and avocado shake.....I tell you I've got another gear....and the best news of all? Free! Thank you NHS - I love you all.

Conclusions:Milk-based proteins promote muscle protein accretion to a greater extent than do soy-based proteins when consumed after resistance exercise.

But this is well known, isn't it? And why you read the labels on the tubs. PHD Diet Whey....it's protein make up is mainly Soy, not whey.

There are no results?

Diet protein shake

Are full of caffeine and other shite that are counterproductive to recovery, particularly rehydration.

You also seem to eat the same on rides less than 60mi as you do rides up to 100mi?

Can I get one? Do they do extra strength ones that can pump blood past clots?

But this is well known, isn't it?
No. That's the point of studying these things. It ain't broscience, it's actual research.

I don't know if they published results.

Not quite, usually 1/2 the amount on the shorter rides. 60 miles is a limit where above it I need 2 energy bars, and below I am usually fine on 1.
Unless I'm racing.

I've never had a problem with rehydration, namely because I nail a separate amount of water based off how I feel.

Already do mate! Well, I make the Skratch Labs ones, which are jam and cream cheese. I add some secret twists to mine. What makes me such a cycling powerhouse.

What's the EFRCT thing you refer to above? You eat sod all on rides. reckon i get through a lot more than that

Skratch Labs

DJ kit?

I have more in built energy reserves than you.

My findings have always been- no protein= crazy muscle loss. Protein= maintenance.
I don't build muscle that quickly.

People seem to think they'll waste away without a protein shake after any exercise these days.

Recovery drinks should be mostly carbs if you're an endurance cyclist anyway so I'm not sure where all the body building crap came into it. Western diets provide ample protein for most endurance athletes. That's the beauty of finishing a long ride - eating your fill afterwards.

Had a Pacemaker fitted this year.

You weren't being naughty in your cycling heyday were you?

So good for riding if you dont want to have to poo.

So would have been very useful for Greg Lemond...

Forgot to not go training. Another day wasted as I then forgot to not have a recovery shake.

Maybe I'll die?

That's a conclusion only a trained medic could make. 7 years or however many well spent

'Can I get one? Do they do extra strength ones that can pump blood past clots?'

Inline macerator will do fine.

Interesting reading until I got to themuscle biopsies.

I recently tried energy balls based on dates on a ride and they were great. You can play with the ingredients and try different ones.

Post ride today - 10g of whey, milk, banana, oats, peanut butter and a Bounty, all blended together.

amidoinitrite?

(Only did 17 miles)

Post ride - jam sandwich. Graeme Obree smashed nearly every British distance record on jam sandwiches. And the hour record, twice. Marmalade was a favourite. I was there the night he smashed the British 10 mile record. 18 minutes, on jam sandwiches, and 120" fixed. He also holds the British record of 1h 39" for 50 miles, on 120" fixed.

He laughs at gels. Sugar + water, mostly.

Obree never did a 17

He did an 18. And it took 17 years to break his record.

Carbs is all you need post ride. Plenty of em.

Maybe he would have done a 17 with proper nutrition advice, or modern training, etc, who knows.
