3.2 Ultra-Eating 🍕🚲 Ultra-Cycling Coach Niel Copeland & Dawn chat race nutrition when riding your bike a really (really) long time (Rewind from The Mettleset)
Manage episode 408921645 series 3564678
This is Part 2 of a 2 Part series and If you missed the first part, you may want to go check it out. I chatted with my coach Niel Copeland about all things ultra-cycling - Ultra Cycling 101 - but we saved perhaps the best, for this episode and that is ultra-eating or how to eat and fuel when riding your bike for a very very long time.
As I mentioned in the intro to Part 1, this episode was released just about a year ago on my first podcast, The Mettleset. That means that some of the events that Niel and I have chatted about have passed, and spoiler alert, I did not finish last year’s Race Around Rwanda. It wasn’t fueling behind my decision to scratch in that race and if you’re curious as to why I did, check out my DNF race report:

In this chat with Niel we go into the importance of nutrition, how you train to eat (yes, you actually need to do this), how much and what to eat on an ultra race, issues that come up and how to avoid them and why planning is key.
We also chat through my experience using the UltraHuman CGM and how the insights available through wearing it helped me stay fueled during training.
