I’ve been riding greater distances (for me), and the further I go, I feel wearier and wearier after every ride. Now I’m only at 24 miles, but want to go further - a lot further. To begin with, metric century further. Eventually.
I’ve read blogs, watched GCN, GMBN, BikeRadar, etc. videos, but need something that works for me. I know part of it is the preparation before the ride, especially diet. I’ve seen lots of recipes for protein-filled foods. Most require oats or seeds or nuts. I can’t eat those due to a medical issue.
I’ve also looked at the Science in Sport recovery powders which looked great until I found they contain a high dose of biotin which I have to minimise intake due to, again, medical issues.
I eat lots of fruit before and during my ride. Post-ride, I eat a sandwich usually containing either chicken and salad or tinned salmon, then natural yoghurt and oranges. I try hard to minimise fat and sugar intake.
Can anyone recommend anything I can do either before, during or after my rides that will help me recover faster?
