What do you drink or eat …or not for a long bike ride over 3 hours?
I train at MAF heart rate until the last hour when I “race” to the “finish line” as a horse to the barn door! I keep 115-135 heart rate on our long bike rides then around try to do surges 160 heart rate then 130 heart rate for intervals….some rides!
The morning of our long ride (weekends), I typically start with a cup of Kion Organic Coffee (you will taste the difference!) and perhaps one of my low-carb homemade scones (recipe to come) or handful of nuts (mac nuts, walnuts, almonds) plus water and my supplements (Liposomal B complex, Glutathione, Tru-Niagen, Kion Aminos and Endurolytes).
- Short rides I just need water and electrolytes (Himalayan sea salt in water works easily!)
- Longer rides I take a bar just in case or nut butter as FBOMB or Pili Nut butter packets or another one to test out SUPER FAT– find which one you love best
- Primal Nutrition Bars that I love from Primal Kitchen- and good in warm weather while riding
- Long rides for 3 hours or more- Generation UCAN slow release energy in one bottle (water in the other)
- Post workouts and afternoons – Athletic Greens drink works great for drinking nutrients
- Tru Niagen for mitochondrial health – link below in my signature
