Weight vs. Power, Failed Workouts, Junk Miles and More – Ask a Cycling Coach 291

Totally! I haven’t figured it out yet. I had a two month stretch in 2019 leading up to my A-race where I didn’t not drink, but I didn’t drink either. If I felt I wanted a drink I’d have a sip of my husband’s g&t or beer and usually that was enough. It’s easier to stick to it when there’s an A race in sight though!

I also found a role for NA alternatives - so if I know I’m happy to have wine with dinner but don’t want the pre-dinner cocktail then a seedlip and tonic lets me join in without joining in.

My new tactic for 2021 is joining a wine club and giving myself that monthly shipment as an “allowance”. Let’s see how that works out!
