Hunger knock!

The Weeks training went really well so i looked towards the weekend efforts with a positive attitude.
As previously mentioned Fridays session was very rewarding and the first time i have put in an extra long hard session in the week since i started this training phase back in January.
So Saturday due to the dry conditions i decided to take my new road bike out for my 9x4 minute hill intervals to see how it felt the bike felt good..a little big but i think with a few more tweeks it will be fine the session went well, slow start but after the first 2 accentions of the Tadmarton golf course hill my pulse started to respond nicely to the effort.

Sunday i did my usual session 3-4 hours with 5 minute massive gear efforts i did 3 hours and 30 mins with the first 2hours 20 being really strong but around the 3 hour mark i got a huge hunger knock so i turned round and went home.Given i have done consecutive hard days i think i should of taken out some form of sustinance to get me round the final circuit.

Like i have mentioned in previous posts training is compound so the more you do and the more consistant you are the better it is the same has to be said about your food consumption the more you do the more you have to eat not just on the bike but after as well especially when the going is tough as elevated calorie consumption can continue upto 16 ours after your session has finished so suitable re-fuelling is essential.

If you have never had "the knock" its a very forgetable sensation and not one i would recommend and it affects lots of people in many different ways some get double vision some get monochrome vision some even get really angry i just feel and look like a babbeling wreck on the road so if you ever see me riding at 11mph and frothing at the mouth you know whats happened.
