I can do 2- 2.5 hour rides even in hard pace just with just plain water or water mixed with Hymalaian salt and lime/lemon juice (in hotter days), no food, no glucose or carbs stuff at all during the ride and I don't feel any decrease of performance, even early morning before breakfast. I don't know why I'm capable to do this opposed to the general believe that you're supposed to drink or eat glucose/carbs if the ride is beyond1 hour long. I think your body responds to how you train it to work while you ride. So either I've trained my body to store more amounts of glycogen, or it's capable to metabolize fat in a more efficient way. I believe science should do more research about teaching your body to perform in this conditions. Note: this rides can be either early morning before breakfast or 1-3 hours after a meal.
Massive difference between before ameal, (after a heavy meal the night before?) And 1/3 hours after a meal, your contradicting yourself and also "hard pace" is a tot totally arbitrary term. You going hard being fasted could feel the same after a meal but that doesn't mean your HR and power is also consistent with both.
@@IJoAnZINo contradiction at all. The "cycling rule" says you should intake glucose/carbs after 1hr of riding any time no matter if you leave home after breakfast.
Does ‘strength’ itself change the amount of glycogen that can be stored? I’ve seen guys who don’t have a lot of muscle mass, and they’re muscles don’t look massive but they can do 100+ pull ups. By ‘having access’ to strength but not carrying extra weight would this help in endurance events?
What do you guys think about having 5 high intensity days at the beggining of the loading cycle and then have a only 1 intensity day every week for the next 2
It's going to be a fine and risky line to thread when factoring in recovery/needed adaptations IMHO. Besides it's hard to say what you'd gain by front loading the efforts and then "diluting" the rest of the block, compared to a more homogenous/periodized load...
I can't remember if I heard it or read it, but I thought a substance in coffee caused all muscles to release some glucose. If that's true I think increasing muscle might increase glucose storage, but how much is usable would be debatable and the added weight cancel the benefits?
kirkprl caffeine, when coingested with carbohydrate has been suggested to increase exogenous carbohydrate oxidation in some studies. The theory behind this is that caffeine may modify the function of certain intestinal carbohydrate transporters (SGLT1) to maximise delivery to the muscle. On its own, caffeine was originally said to increase free fatty acid mobilisation, although the ergogenic effect of this is now believed to be a reduction in perceived effort due to facilitation of neuromuscular function. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15831802
Wow, came to the 'tube to ask this question, and the third result was you all! What time to be alive, and thanks for the answer.
Have been wondering this for some time, thanks for giving a concise and well explained answer!
⭕️ What's the best way to refuel glycogen for a
270+ lb athlete that doesn't enjoy eating. ?

U understood everything. But boy do people love to attempt to overcomplicate things
Oh yes I did like this video and I did like it
Hi, do I have to eat at a caloric surplus to store muscle glycogen?
So, Chad's advice is to train via endurance training to store more glycogen. So indirectly, yes, eat calories to train. ;)

We discuss that here in the Aerobic Metabolism 101 podcast: ruclips.net/video/EG4cDiihOQg/видео.html
Because they are lightweight
Your guys content is awesome... real science! Thanks.
