It is about training. Efficiency and stroke volume. Lots and lots of Zone 2 riding.

If you are happy with your riding, why make a change. Keep at it. It is very hard to give useful advice. ...

Also, be careful of using ibuprofen during endurance events. I saw my MD a day after a hilly, hot 300km and the blood work was legendary in his office, make sure you tell the Doc and explain what...

You are doing something very wrong to gain 10 pounds. Wow. If you are saying you started PBP and upon finishing, you weighed 10 pounds more, something is wrong. Swelling isn't the cause, it is the...

I guess what to put down one's throat is of interest because so many get it wrong. Upset stomach, puking, and diarrhea.

For instance, I know I can drink 2/3 of a Red Ambulance. That is it, the...

I would never not eat sufficient carbs on a long ride (over 200km), just need a lot less.
