Ā You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
eat them all just before you start the exercise, it doesnt matter how long you're exercising for as the sugar rush will help you work harder therefore burning more off in the long run. FACT.
DAYS OFF?!?!?! what are you? some kinda biffer? real men dont have days off.
Yeti, its ok, deep breath. Eat them all now, then have a coke in an hour. Then when you finish exercise, have another coke and cheesecake, along with anything left in your car. Simples. š
But you are just exercising, what about me and my ramp test? How much sugar, coffee and energy gels should i eat so i can smash Mol's power test (or has anyone got a spare set of legs i could borrow instead?) PANIC!
[i]Christ I'm going to do some exercise in about 2 hours and I really don't know what to eat when, how, why?
I've got a 'nana and a nature valley bar. I've got a load of dried nuts to and some soreen in the boot of my car I think. Pretty sure I've got some energy gels left from the weekend too. Shall I eat them all, now, in a minute, after, help meeee.
[/i]
Eat everything, feel guilty that you're going to get fat.
Then run around like a loone until you fall asleep.
When you awake, console yourself by drinking some white wine while admiring your 6 pack in your full length mirror and while adlibbing to the pussy cat dolls
" Dontcha wish your boy friend was hot like TSY "
Ok thanks.
I have another question...
How much of my own blood would I need to drink to replace the pint of blood I donated earlier?

Have you been stalking me or talking the Yet-ette?
[i]DAYS OFF?!?!?! what are you? some kinda biffer? real [s]men[/s] [b]gym bunnys' such as me[/b] dont have days off.[/i]
T, FTFY
š
dirty girl, you know those 'race packs' you can buy full of gells and powders.... 4 of them.
yeti, you wont need to drink any blood to replace it, just water and the body will do the rest. if you want to experience a lightheaded feeling then i suggest breakdancing until everything goes black.
no i'm not racist, white people breakdance too.
solo, i dont follow the iDiet, i eat many things on the banned list (banned list is available from deadlydarcy if you email him your bank details or photos of men) on a day to day basis. i created the iPhilly diet ages ago and its working well š
[i]no i'm not racist, white people breakdance too.[/i]
Yeah, usually quite badly though.
Perhaps they haven't got there post dancing carbs correct.
That's good Phil, but it's not the one.
I want a serious answer. How many calories are there in my blood?
[i]solo, i dont follow the iDiet, i eat many things on the banned list [/i]
Nothing is banned, you can eat whatever you want.
You know this.
Pictures ?.
[i]I want a serious answer. How many calories are there in my blood?[/i]
Infinately variable, no ?.
I mean, are we talking post-dump, pre-dump ?, winter, southern or nothern hemisphere ?.
There must be a rough answer?
It's a bit like the 'would I lose weight if I ate my own arm question?' but a little more practical.
MMMmmm blood must have glucose in it, could blood be the new recovery drink ?
Kev
650 kcal.
Its complicated because we are constantly told by the so called experts to eat at least 5 portions of carbohydrate/starchy food each day for energy.
However, when I eat like that I feel like shit. However, nobody up until recently has told me why.
Just looking for some decent honest advice from those in the know and those with previous experience of following this "regime".
Talking as someone who was previously diagnosed with and recovered from CFS/ME, I know what its like to feel tired, very tired. What I am trying to understand is why I struggle to maintain exercise for more than a month or so at a time and never really get any fitter.
Was therefore hoping that by following a regime that more competent athletes than me follow, I might improve. But conscious that we are all built differently.
Have you rounded up or down Jamie?
Just pulled it out my ass, to be honest.
*pulls page 22 out of his ass also*
*pulls a double post glitch out of his ass as well*
[i]Just pulled it out my ass, to be honest. [/i]
Yeah, I've noticed you do alot of that.
š
Were you pulled from someone's ass by any chance ?.
What else have you got up there Jamie?
*can't find stapler*
You don't want blood coming out of there.

LOL !
We've digressed a bit haven't we?
What was the decision on drinking coke?
What was the decision on drinking coke?
Pint blood out = Pint of Coke in
If they find coke in your blood.
Its over !.
its not complicated FFS!
Well metabolism is, the diet's not.
I'm not doing anything complicated I dunno why everyone takes the piss.

Oh, and I have no idea how a power meter works or what any of those figures you posted earlier, actually mean.

time for a little retrospection perhaps ?

I love this thread.
I reckon For Goodness Shakes should develop a cheesecake flavoured drink in honour of molgrips.
time for a little retrospection perhaps ?
On your part.. I understand myself perfectly, you're the ones misconstruing...
Its been working for me, 111.5kg on New Years day, 98.6kg today.
excellent news - well done!
i guess the stella merchants in north wales are a bit hacked off!
got any hummus recipes š
Yes there has been a sudden dip in Stella consumption in N.Wales and just when I'd got to the stage of a discount at the local kebab house too. Hummus wouldn't go near the stuff!
So... any idaving today? š
Good work Tricky, I was hoping this thread would appear at some point.
I actually drank a recovery drink last night. I was close to passing out after 2 hours on the mtb, and had 40 mins drive home still to make.
Giving blood and exercising is not a winning combination.
+1. Its friday afterall and we couldn't all end up working could we?I was hoping this thread would appear at some point
Did the recovery drink make you feel more awesome Yeti? Talking of which, have you seen my awesome guns with my new power to weight ratio that's far better than Mol's? 
So how did the test go DGOAB?
Did you beat molly?
u woz on a mtb yeti? šÆ i thort u woz onli rydin rode bykz nao?
No it didn't. I think I'd have been better off with a coke. Actually I'd be better off giving up smoking again but I've got to wait until lent is over.
Yes I did... I might post a video of me riding up Mow Cop from the weekend. The other people walking up the hill make me look super fast!
JAck of all trades Philly!! Loved being out on it... had to bunnyhop a badger at one point*
*this may have actually been more like a fist full of brakes and a girly scream but it was dark.
we had beautiful ride last night, 99%sniggletrack, 2 hours, skills everywhere, no waiting for mrsconsequence as she's sped up massively and its almost difficult keeping up with her at certain points!
i love the bouncy bike and the reverb, love that becca is as fast as us now more so! makes the ride infinitely more enjoyable for us and for her!
I was 84.8kg this morning. Cheesecake and all - so ner.
Did you make it out for your run and swim?
Run yes, swim no. Might try today, but I was also hoping for an mtb spin sinc eit's the last nice day.
good work... your commitment to becoming an exercise addict pleases me.
328W at 85kg is 3.86 W/kgIf DGOaB manages 170W, she beats you on power:weight.
So, seeing as i was warming up on 170w before the test, i can say that i have well and truely beaten mol on power - weight. Can we have a party to celebrate this occasion please? Coke and cheesecake all round?
Oooh get her!
Nobody likes a show-off! š
So, seeing as i was warming up on 170w before the test, i can say that i have well and truely beaten mol on power - weight.
The sums were wrong - you need to do 212W for 10 miles to beat me in power/weight. Which you almost certainly would š However on a flat TT I would beat you, probably.
Well I did that and more Mol, so i'm still fine! š
Why would you beat me on a flat TT?
Molly - do you have to have someone set up the power meter etc? Or is it more plug and play?
Cos then it's not power to weight that's important, it's power to drag, and your air resistance won't be a lot less than mine.
Molly - do you have to have someone set up the power meter etc? Or is it more plug and play?
Plug and play, assuming you get one that's already been built into a wheel of course. There are people who calibrate them for you apparently but they are quite accurate as they come, I understand.
You need to check it's zeroed every so often by holding a button down, that's it.
I would expect DGOAB to have a smaller frontal area? She is a small keyring size person is she not?
Power meters need to be calibrated.
She will have a smaller frontal area but I bet not by 38% which is what the weight difference is.
iDave I never heard of this calibration until you mentioned it.. how far out can they be if you don't?
She is - makes flights much cheaper šShe is a small keyring size person is she not?
I would expect DGOAB to have a smaller frontal area?
...bit personal there, Dave.
+1 for calibration. It was the first thing the coach did last night when i got there. Once it was calibrated, i then had a 15min warm up on it. The calibration was harder than the 100-200w warm up!
I don't agree with your power to drag theory. The way i see it is, i produce more power to weight than you, i can tuck down further as i'm smaller than you = faster than you. What upper body bits would count for air drag? My shoulders are the widest bit of me at 37. I feel another challenge coming on! š
Is that 3.86 w / kg someone quoted as your power to weight ratio right? Did you have a max power test to get determine your max power and adjust it to your current weight? As i'd put on 0.8kgs last night, i lost some power to weight but was still over the 5w / kg. *admires my guns* š
*tries not to look obvious while checking out DGOAB's guns* š
*ponders how Dirty's guns [i]measure[/i] up to Molly's*
<like>
The way i see it is, i produce more power to weight than you, i can tuck down further as i'm smaller than you
Not sure that follows.. but anyway, find 5 miles of flat open road with a roundabout at the end and let's see how long it takes š Normal road bike on drops mind, no clip-ons.
328W was my average power over the 24-odd minutes it took me. No idea what my results would be on a ramp test.
Why Mr Grips, i thought you'd never ask! Normal road bike drops are all i have.
How about we go one step further and make it a proper event? I propose Mustard and I travel down south so there's no excuses to be had about head winds or the like (unless i'm behind you and you are idave compliant and full of beans) š
Trickydisco can find mustard and i a race to do before/after our challenge.
TSY can be on hand to compare our guns, mop sweat from our brows and offer massages to the winner/loser (or whosever thighs Sammie Louise likes best).
Jimmers can supply [s]the all you can eat buffet[/s] recovery food
Idave can check our times.
Philly and DD can be our shexy cheerleaders?
I know a perfect venue [s]near my house[/s] about half way
Oxfordshire is flatter. We should meet there.
Can we stay at yours then please Yeti? We could maybe do some mtb'ing/road riding for a few days either side? Is it wise to tell Mol of my good news tonight or shall i keep it quiet? š
How about we go one step further and make it a proper event?
We have an outdoor cycle track in Cardiff that you can just pitch up at and ride/race...
And an indoor one in Newport that you can hire out...
Hire Manchester too so you can meet halfway.
Molgrips,
Are you sure your 5 miles took you about 24 minutes?
24 minutes is an ok time for a 10 mile TT.
Dirty girl said earlier she was aiming for a 10 mile TT in about that time.
Sooo. My Money is on dirty girl even if her good news is the traditional woman's good news!
@Mugsy
Are you saying DGOAB is racing for two?
DirtyG's having puppies š
Dibs on the cutest one. I already know what I am going to call it.
I want the slightly gippy one, hopefull it'll be blind.
I'm going to make a sad video.
Way to bring me down at the weekend, SeƱor Jerkoff.
Don't worry it'll have a happy ending.
Now I feel bad for calling you SeƱor Jerkoff š
It's ok I've lost more weight. I'm certain it has nothing to do with the name you've called me but is all to do with the iDiet and hot yoga.
11st 3lb this morning.
You're lighter than me, and you're taller.
Such a Jerkoff.
