Noakes is a nutcase.
This is basically what I've been doing the last few years:
"Many sports nutritionists have turned to an alternate approach dubbed “train low, race high.” They suggest triggering fat adaptation by eating a conventional high-carb diet but performing certain training sessions in a low-carb state: a hard run first thing in the morning before breakfast, or two workouts in one day without replenishing carb stores in between. These targeted sessions, Burke says, are enough to boost the body’s fat-burning ability without compromising carb burning, giving the athlete “metabolic flexibility” to tap into whatever fuel they need in a given situation."
hippy
I dont see how you can ride without carbs. I live on carbs and need them.
TCR is a goal next year. This year LEL I will work up from there.
