Episode notes
Fuel Workouts First Avoid Postride Binges
- Avoid under-fueling workouts then overcompensating afterward.
- Renee Eastman describes athletes who restrict all week, ride fasted or under-fueled, then binge after long rides and undo the deficit.
Preload Workouts Not Reload After
- Preload workouts rather than saving calories to reload after.
- Eastman borrows Stacy Sims' phrase: eat before and during to improve workout quality instead of creating a huge post-ride hole.
Most Cardio Uses Carbs Not Long‑Term Fat
- Cardio often burns mostly carbohydrate not stored fat during higher intensities.
- Eastman explains most athletes train in zones that rely on carbs, so an hour hard ride may not tap significant fat stores.
