I’m still trying to ramp up cycling after an injury and a couple of set backs… keto riding is still a learning process. I’ve always been a bit scared of fasted riding. So I haven’t done it. After the holidays and other stresses I gained a few pounds and am working to shed them and once again ramp training. As such a few notes so far. My knees seem to feel better which has been part of my set backs. Perhaps long term keto with integrated fasting helped? Or maybe it was down time?
Secondly, I did a spin yesterday morning and fasted all day. I then did another spin this morning and plan to fast today and spin once again tomorrow morning. My spin today was a little lower intensity this morning which is likely due to successive training days. However, I am not super hungry nor is my metabolism crashing. Interesting! Even over the holidays I ate pretty low carb so I think I didn’t lose fat adaption… I wonder how long the long term fat adaption process continues? Or maybe this is a short term training ramp anomaly?
