Coaching masters cyclists to be the best on and off the bike
Manage episode 379401893 series 3519315
In this episode, I go solo and talk about my ethos of coaching, the most important aspects of training all masters cyclists should focus on, discuss nutrition and why its important that masters cyclists need to eat differently than the mainstream media suggest and have a rant about some of the dumbest things I've seen on the internet recently
Body composition changes associated with fasted versus non-fasted aerobic exercise

Under an hour training s not affected either way by fasted or a fed state. However, over an hour there are performance advantages of feeding pre-training.

The current RDA for protein is 0.8g per kg per day. This is aimed at the general sedentary population and doesn’t take into consideration athletes or older populations exercising to the level we do.
My suggestion is that we should aim for total protein between 1.8g per kg of body weight and as much as 2g per kg of body weight for older athletes. And, as much as 2.2g per kg of body weight for cyclists over 55.
Practical recommendations.
3 meals a day between 0.4 and 0.5g per kg of body weight with a recovery shake post training that’s 0.3g per kg of body weight.
Plus a protein meal/bolus before bed of 0.5 - 0.6g per kg.
