Feeling GI distress on the bike when fueling? You’re not alone. Overconsumption of carbohydrates can overwhelm your gut’s absorption capacity (the "osmotic load"), leading to bloating, nausea, and other stomach issues. Why does this happen? Your small intestine has a limited rate for absorbing carbs, especially when blood flow is diverted to your legs during hard efforts. Excess, unabsorbed sugar draws water into the gut, causing that unpleasant feeling. Don't wait until race day to experiment. Use the lower intensity and volume of your Base Training to deliberately increase your carbohydrate intake during rides. This process, known as Gut Training, helps your body: Boost the number and activity of carbohydrate transporters (like SGLT1 and GLUT5). Condition your stomach to tolerate a higher volume of liquid/calories. The result? Better fuel utilization, less GI stress, and the ability to sustain higher power output late in a long event. Start small, increase gradually, and train your nutrition just like you train your legs! #RoadCycling #CyclingLife #GutTraining #SportsNutrition #EnduranceFueling #CarbLoading #BaseSeason #CyclingTips #PerformanceNutrition #BikeFit

Ever wonder about that "burn" during a tough workout? Let's talk Lactic Acid (or lactate). What is it? It's a key by-product of carbohydrate metabolism. Your body is always producing and clearing it, even at rest. During intense exercise (as shown in the graph), your need for energy (ATP) skyrockets. This demands more carbohydrate use, which directly increases lactate production. Your liver works hard via the Cori Cycle to clear lactate, but when production exceeds clearance, acidic H+ ions build up in the muscle. This drop in PH is what interferes with muscle contraction, reduces energy efficiency, and sends those "burning" fatigue signals to your brain. The takeaway? The burn is your body telling you it's working hard to maintain balance! #LacticAcid #Lactate #Physiology #WorkoutScience #MuscleBurn #ATP #CarbohydrateMetabolism #FitnessEducation

There is no "bad" test, only the wrong application. Selecting a testing protocol isn't just about physiology; you must also consider your experience level and your ability to execute. If you are new to training, the Ramp Test is an excellent tool. ▪️Pacing a 20-minute effort is a learned skill. New athletes often start too hard and "blow up," leading to poor data. The Ramp Test removes this risk, you pedal until you can't. ▪️It introduces you to high-intensity effort without the deep, lingering fatigue of a long time trial. ▪️For a new athlete, a completed Ramp Test is infinitely more valuable than a failed 20-minute attempt. Why "Graduate" to the 20-Minute Test? As you become a more established athlete, your ability to hold power improves, and precision becomes critical. ▪️Once you have gotten comfortable being uncomfortable and understand your body, the 20-minute test offers the Gold Standard for accuracy. ▪️How so? It isolates your aerobic endurance, ensuring your training zones are based on what you can sustain, not just your anaerobic ceiling. Think of testing as a progression. Start with the Ramp Test to build consistency and a baseline. As your fitness and experience grow, move to the 20-Minute Test to refine your accuracy. The goal is always the best data for your current stage of development. #cyclinglife #cyclingcoach #ftp #newcyclist #trainingpeaks #wahoo #roadcycling #progression

Fasted Training. It’s a tool, not a rule. If you've ever wondered about doing it, here is the breakdown of the Why, When, and How. WHY do it? It pushes your body to become "metabolically flexible." By riding with low glycogen stores, you force your body to oxidize fat more efficiently. This spares your muscle glycogen for when you really need it (like that final attack). WHEN to do it? Base Season: Perfect for building a foundation. Recovery Rides: Keep it chill. Morning Commutes: If they are under 90 mins. ❌ NEVER before high-intensity intervals or a race. You need carbs for high power! HOW to execute? Keep it Z2: If you can’t hold a conversation, you’re going too hard. Hydrate: Fasted does not mean dehydrated. Drink water and electrolytes! Cap it at 60–90 minutes max for amateurs. Bring food: Always carry an emergency gel just in case you bonk.

What's the point of training if you don't even understand what the data you collect means? Testing frequently throughout the season, especially for newer riders, is the best way to ensure that every training session you complete is providing its maximum benefit for improving performance.
