I definitely go for balanced diet first. Then, well, suppliment. Which probably means I wee out most of the extra shit I take. Should really bottle my piss.
My 'sports nutrition' cupboard is mostly gels, protein, and hydration tabs to be honest. Although I do have a bit of a berroca habit.
4 boxes - gels
2 bulk packets - skratch labs hydration powder
2 boxes - hydration tabs
1 Box - beetroot flapjacks
10 tubes - berroca
1 Box - recovery powder sachets
4 bottles - cod liver oil
2 tubs - ZMAs
2 tubs - CLAs
2 tubs - magnesium
30 - homemade flapjacks.
4kg tub whey protein.I tend to Stock up hen I see stuff on clearance. I should eat less gels. But I seem to have a massive lack of talent when it comes to fueling my base training.
I have a cupboard full of suppliments to justify.
I'm overdosing on vitamins at the moment in an attempt to up my odds of avoiding sickness. Maybe I'm fooling myself. But anythings Worth a shot at this time of year up here. Its build time. So negative TSB. Pluss its cold season. Not a great combo. The more serious cyclists I know up here, even avoid training outside. Me, I stick to vitamins and snowbiking. Seems to work OK.
