Hope I got the right place it was between this and the health and fitness bit.
I have been having a few issues lately and wondering if anyone can help. There may be an answer shouting at me but I am dammed if I can find it
I have recently swapped from more sedate CTC rides to club runs of similar distance 40-45 miles albeit the averages are different 12.50 -13 to 17-18mph. Sundays Club run saw me back indoors with a 17.2 average over 42 miles taking it easy on ride back home.
On the TT days I am fine but really suffer after a club run. During the club run, immediately post ride and for the rest of the day I am fine fuelling wise, my hunger is up a bit but I counter that by upping my clean carb intake the evening before, have a bowl of porridge and some dried fruit for breakfast, a couple of cereal bars as ride food and a post ride bit of cake. I also up my carb intake after and into the Sunday evening as well as adding in a whey protein shake (maybe two). I eat relatively clean generally (loads of fruit & veg, clean carbs protein and I am a 7 or 8 portions of fresh fruit & veg a day man). I go back to normal on the monday Carb wise but make sure my breakfast is porridge or a good helping of muesli.
The trouble comes on the Monday, where quite frankly I feel like I could blow away the bloke out of man vs food and quite easily feel like I could bankrupt an all you can eat buffet place in one sitting.
It does feel like my sugar levels have dropped to zero and I get all fuzzy headed. I have never sufferred with this before, which could mean I have some kind of virus/cold coming on or it could be overtraining but the cold / virus has not come out for the last three weeks and although I have also upped my cycling intensity I do not feel it is to the extent of overtraining. In addition to the above I also cycle on a MTB on the Saturday but its max 10 miles with the little un so that is very sedate and I do a spinning class one day as well.
I am not losing any weight in fact it feels the opposite so my food level must be OK.
