Hey wahine,
I have to say it varies on the ride but i'll give you the example from yesterday.
Yesterday it was about 40km into the ride. I just felt it wasn't there ya know & slowed down quite a bit. Prior to that I'd had three power gels & my electrolyte drink. I felt fine after I stopped for a few minutes & had more than enough energy for the final 20km. I thought about carrying a bannana then decided not to.
After the ride, I stopped for brekkie-toast w jam & a coffee. When I rode the final few kms to the pilates studio the energy was there then it wasn't.
This has always happened to me no matter when I ride. I have the energy, lose it for a bit, gain it back, slowly lose it then have almost too much energy. Does that make sense?
I'm off to re read Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook
About glycogen stores..any info is cool..
Thanks
