Do you train fasted? If so, do you refuel after or keep fasting for a bit?

I typically run or turbo in the morning at 0500. Fated workout is no problem, but should/could the fast be continued after this?

Do you fast every day?

I only exercise fasted if it’s a run/bike first thing; otherwise I exercise during the day at the moment, whilst the kids are at school. When I do my 2h run carrying a heavy pack, I usually have some nuts and a banana before I head out, because that isn’t really an easy session. Yes I keep that 14h in place pretty much everyday.

How do you feel after an early session if you stay fasted for another while until your break the fast?

How long do you leave it?

Feel fine; say finish dinner at 18.30 I eat breakfast at 08.30. So if I run at 07.00 for an hour, it works well. If you’re training at 05.00 or whatever, I would eat when you’re hungry, or keep it at 12h fasting period. The biggest thing really for me, is not eating anything between dinner and bedtime.

I just do 14h because it’s convenient and manageable for me. YMMV !

Thanks. Big challenge for me is not eating after dinner :grimacing:

I always used to run AM fasted. I am having to eat more now that I’m cycling too. I just don’t recover or am able to train if I don’t. Quality of diet always seems to help. Don’t fair well if just eat rubbish but when eating cleaner and getting a lot of greens/good fats etc in I feel great and recover more readily.

floating around 63kg mark. Years of running. Haven’t weighed myself tho in years. Used to just pinch myself. You can feel when you’re getting sharper. I’m no model athlete, if anything I could prob do with getting some gym sessions in. Lost some muscle mass after bout of pneumonia few years ago.

G friend can’t understand how I can get through a day not eating. She gets so grumpy if she doesn’t eat. I’m the opposite lol

I’m all right in the morning, but I get right hangry later on!

Usually take a ‘whitey’ if I’m not eating enough.

01/05/21 – 5’ 7" / 1.7m

12 st 13.2 lbs / 82.2 kg

Unfortunately, a gain in the month of 0.8 lbs / 0.4kg doesn’t tell the whole story.

As, I initially lost 5 pounds at the start of April. :sunglasses:

Before putting 6 pounds back on at the end of the month. :roll_eyes:

Which confirms that training + good diet works and no training + poor diet doesn’t.

Who knew?

Cheers, Paul. :slight_smile:

69.6 steady. Lots of shit food and no exercise for two days but surprisingly weight stayed constant, odd. Anyway, today’s salad at lunch no carb and eve meal small smoothie should help matters.

I’ve been putting off posting on thread until I lost some weight (perhaps getting close to what I’ve entered on Zwift :shushing_face:), which I guess misses the point. Having not managed to lose any lets try the opposite approach:

5th May: 82.6kg @ 5’11" / 180cm

Would like to try an hit 76kg.

My weight is still not budging so I’ve decided to use https://cronometer.com/ for a week to see what’s going on. Already I can see I am over eating, too many carbs, not enough protein, not drinking enough. Although first day I went through a 200g bag of dried mango :heart_eyes: which doesn’t help! I’ve been much more restrained today.

68.7, after no tea last night. Just hope today’s shit food and beer don’t add to my woes. Bike at lunchtime to compensate methinks.

I’ve sneaked up a kilo after a really bad last week of beer, wine and bad food. Hoping that slips back to normal in the next week.

Think I’m going to have to drop booze for a few weeks before my race if I want to slip closer to 70, as my exercise level has just reached equilibrium with my current diet.
