I struggle to find the time in the week to train, so like you have to jump out of bed then straight on the turbo.
I can't face food 15 minutes before an hours session regardless of its intensity.
I usually glug 500ml of skimmed milk straight after with a little nesquik powder.
Then breakfast, usually 3 eggs scrambled.
I'm not sure if it's good or bad but it's all I can do really.

Early morning turbo training question approaching -
Although i wake up in dread on these mornings, I tend to do a lot of my turbo stuff early in the morning before work. As i'm usually on the turbo within 40ish minutes of getting out of bed, I don't eat before as I can't imagine I'd actually have digested it in time so it seems pointless- i just have a good breakfast after.
I know that you're not supposed to push too hard when training fasted, but i always end up kind of ignoring this and do around 40-50 mins at c.90% FTP as a kind of 'base' workout (split into 15/20ish minute intervals. Is this bad?
To those of you that do pre-work turbo, do you eat beforehand? What kind of workouts do you do?
