5 must-know cycling nutrition strategies

If you're interested in going fast, then paying attention to what, when and how much you eat on the bike is of huge importance. And the science and practice of on-bike nutrition has rocketed ahead recently, with the huge amount of carbohydrate consumed in particular being a major change from just a few short years ago. On this podcast, Coach Christian Parrett digs into what you need to know now to fuel your best races and intense training, based on the current science and how it applies to both elite pros and everyday Janes and Joes.  Coach Christian raced professionally for a number of years, and has some funny as well as enlightening stories to tell, comparing what is happening in sports science now with how things worked - or didn't! - back in his day.  We reference three links in the podcast:  -a power-to-speed calculator where you can tweak parameters like your weight and speed and ground surface to see how that affects the amount of power required: https://www.gribble.org/cycling/power_v_speed.html -an energy gel made from Belgian beer beef stew, stoofvlees: https://www.instagram.com/p/C5Dax7yKUwC/?hl=en -Coach Christian's page, where you can learn more about him and hire him as a personal coach: https://fascatcoaching.com/collections/coaches/products/christian-parrett To start training for your best year yet, get a free month on the FasCat App, which includes unlimited training plans, the Optimize training-to-recovery balance technology, meal plans, access to FasCat Coaches like Christian and now the new AI-powered technology CoachCat!
