A year in review

(ianrobo) #1

So just over a year ago, I met up with Fidel and he told me all about Keto for fat adaptation and weight loss purposes. So in that time what did I do ?

  • lost 13kgs
  • ride in Aug 2016 still in adaption but 30 mins quicker than previous year
  • Did a 226km ride
  • Broke numerous PB’s on Strava
  • Did a 305km ride in 12 hours with only 30 minutes of stopping
  • Did the Marmotte again - 2 hours quicker with cutting off 50 mins in few stops
  • Did 100 Miles last week, closed road even 5.45
  • Did 100 miles this week, no food during ride, tougher than last week 5.51 with just stops for pee and water

Also on this changed to MAF training in April which I believe helped with all this with fat adaption and using 100% fat for at least half these rides …

Tell me why any amateur rider wants to keep with the old methods.

Cheers Linda but what this shows is anyone can do this and it works. I do a lot of cycling but whether it is weights, cycling, running or swimming it all works like this.

The only limiting factor is having the belief and positive of mind to do it. Especially in sports which are deeply aerobic, Fat adaption is bloody excellent for increasing your aerobic base as this is after all the fat burning zone.
