Went on a reasonably tough and reasonably long (70+ miles) training ride on Tuesday. I thought I was eating and drinking well, and more than normal...
Bonked hard on about 50 miles. Rested up and ate well when I got home.
Took it easy yesterday.
Got onto turbo this morning planning to do 2 x 20 threshold. Could hardly manage 10 minutes at sweetspot. Heart rate was responding well so didn't seem to be fatigue, more just that I had no strength in the legs to push the pedals.
I haven't bonked for a while, but I swear in past experiences I used to be ok again the next day. Anyone else found they've had a bit of a 'bonkover', i.e., still feeling pathetic a few days later?
