Not only easier, but more sensible since the gut pays no attention to your kJ burn (or worse, the inverse, as you mentioned above).
More info here, if anyone’s interested:
lol yeah that aint happening. Hard enough to just swallow the darn fuel and think “x bottles per hour,” let alone grams by kJ!
Great video, keep the coming please! 
Thanks for the feedback. A Cinnamon & Raisin wholemeal bagel (yum) at 3pm with Torq Hydration (15g carbs) on the bike at 6pm seems to be working for me.
Ok, I’m late to this…but how is that rider having two croissants at 12pm- presumably that is during the stage? Or are they the little ones they use as snacks?
Also, two coffees at 5pm and another at 8pm, so much for stopping early with the caffeine…
It is interesting though, at first glance it looks like there’s a lot of food in the morning, and less than expected after the stage…but if I think of myself, I struggle to eat much after a hard ride, so maybe it’s better to eat more in the morning.
That’s where the Wahoo alert would come into play and not have to think about it. You can set it to alert by any kj interval and have it say whatever you wanted. So for example you could set it to come on at every 500kj interval and have the message say “finish half bottle”.
Was just an idea…
As said I’ve just posted the first hit from google. I have not even looked at the illustration properly.
Not sure what size of croissants you’re used to but what’s the issue with regular French croissants? I can eat one with two bites. Why shouldn’t this work early in a stage?
In France it is not unusual to have coffee after dinner, my French sister-in-law even drinks coffee at 10pm. In Spain they don’t even have dinner before 10pm. However, apart from this cultural thing, I think caffeine is supposed to aid with glycogen replenishment.
Has anyone tried the dextrose glucose powder from myprotein
seems too good to be true, 1kg for £4.99
would it be a good ratio for cycling?
(100% Glucose Carbs (Dextrose) | MYPROTEIN™)
The coffee comment was a bit tongue-in-cheek, because of all the people that’ll tell you to never have coffee after lunch or whatever (it takes 6 hours to leave your system! You won’t sleep, and destroy your recovery! Etc)
I just don’t think I’ve ever seen (on TV, admittingly), a pro rider eat a croissant mid-stage, just found it a bit strange.
Top secret: I’m building an app that will do exactly that. Don’t tell anyone.
I thought you were being redundant with your word choice.
Then I clicked your link.
What a goofy name for a supplement.
Dextrose is glucose, outside the body.
Dextrose glucose powder is like saying “glucose glucose powder” or “dextrose dextrose powder”
I’m sure it has to do with SEO, or else the manufacturers are just real bad at biochem & nomenclature.
There is no ratio. It’s 100% dextrose. Which is 100% glucose. No fructose present. I perceive that the glucose:fructose ratio is the ratio you’re referencing.
Ah thank you! Yes I did think that but thought I was just being stupid and missing something!
I saw this too. I must say this is highly unprofessional. He’s probably never worked outside of academia. He’s a representative of Bora-H and should be careful with what he puts out. While not forbidden ketones are a highly contentious topic in Germany. The doping history,the fall of Ulrich. I can’t see how Bora would approve a joke where it is suggested that one of the top German riders uses ketones. Things like this can get out of control easily, a rider’s reputation damaged.
Lorang is quite open about ketones, however, he said they don’t use them actively. And they would not ban their use if riders wanted to try them. Still, I don’t think this should be used for a joke on social media. Unprofessional.
Never underestimate nutrition company’s ability to confuse things. lol
I gosh darn love Tim Podlogar. Now I love him even more. The world needs satire.
Serious question because I’ve not checked. Are ketones a banned substance?
Maybe this is just some weird autistic sport scientist side of me (I fit the criteria for DSM-V Autism Spectrum Disorder so this is not a jab at folks with autism… I am one) but I found that tweet hilarious and think it’s a darn shame that he had to apologize. Dry witty humor requiring some intelligence to decipher is some of the best humor, in my opinion. Maybe I’m just a jerk. I don’t know.
Second, I find his intent for posting it actually quite honorable. I have done similarly, honestly. Social media is awash with garbage information and I’d posit that the net effect of it on humanity is quite negative by comparison to all other tech innovation at that level of success.
Hence, I commend him for trying to highlight and remind folks that information on social media is often somewhere between intentionally misleading and incomplete to the point of uselessness or harmfulness. That’s an important message.
Yeah I love me some satire. May the spectrum be with you 
now tell me your an INTP too lol. Only recently started following Tim, maybe the 2nd tweet of his that I noticed and only because sryke posted it. Was busy at work and it seemed odd, thought it was serious and I was like is this what some pros do? Why the weird hand written scribbles? 60g/hour for the win? WTF no ketones for me, that’s a little too better living thru chemistry for my tastes. Another reason I’ll never be a pro, back to writing up a statement of work for a customer.
Yeah I found the satire in that to be pretty evident especially in the writing style, but then again I’m probably a little too familiar with internet humour.
Sometimes I feel like the tendency to be 100% SUPER SERIOUS about nutrition is to our detriment. It’s one of those topics that people seem to get oddly emotionally attached to, and IMO it sometimes comes at the cost of nuance. I cracked a joke about jam being the best carb on a club ride the other day and it immediately started an argument. 
You’d be right.
This resonates.
I see you being too harsh here - following blindly what is written on the web without some self thought is just irresponsible for oneself generally - this applies to this very thread more than most! 
your last point - relates highly to your last video, about marketing etc - 100% bang on!
