On the diet note, I'm trying to figure out a simple formula for calculating how many carbs I should eat per day as a minimum. Right now I'm thinking something like: 250g + (hours of training * 120). So a 1 hour day would be around 370, and a 5 hour day 850. Today I did 3.25 hours, so I'm shooting for 640 grams. Yesterday I did 4 hours and ate around 750-800 grams, and today my legs were even better! The main issue I'm having right now is simply being able to eat this many carbs (cleanly), without feeling absolutely miserable. I don't know if I'm more impressed with a world tour riders FTP, or their ability to shovel in 15g/kg of bodyweight worth of healthy carbs day after day.
