Oh - and as for what it "means" - one of his big pitches is don't chow down after a ride. Eat sensibly, not as if you've just ridden X number of miles. If you want to treat yourself to a big meal, do it the night before your big ride.
Makes a lot of sense, but it's not that much fun in practice.

Snork. I agree about the "don't eat everything forever after a big ride" - and it's not that hard.
I totally disagree that "it's supposed to hurt." Hey, if you need to hurt, fine. It's *not* necessary. Breathing hard - that's good
Hurting... not for me!
