  • Bad stomach yesterday and probably didn't eat enough before and after a 100k ride.

    Went to get on the turbo today, and whilst i could spin away relatively happy in an easy gear, the minute i tried to start pushing something heavier I had ZERO strength in the legs. Felt like I could barely hold threshold for over a minute, it felt insanely ridiculously hard. WTF?! Surely not a consequence of one day underfuelling?

    Needless to say, I've spent the rest of the day on my ass.

    Err, yes. Your glycogen stores will have been severely depleted by a 100 km ride, and if you've got a bad stomach then your digestive system won't have replenished them.
