Accelerade while training or racing, Endurox afterward, but only after a good training ride or after a race. After a recovery ride I don't worry about a post-workout recovery drink. On a very hot day you will need to drink more, a bottle of water helps in that regard.sam218 said:What drinks do you use while racing/training or after rides?
Yikes, that's a lot of pure sugar! Why don't you eat a couple pieces of whole grain bread to get the carbohydates in a complex form?emailcone said:I use 2 cups of nonfat milk for 20 grams of protien and enough table sugar (5 table spoons!!!) to get 50 grams of carbs. But only drink this withing the first hour after finishing your workout
Before riding/training/racing, it is important to fuel with carbs with a low 'GI'(complex form), because this way the release is slower, however, after riding/training/racing, the desired effect is to get the replenishment the the stores ASAP so it is more efficient to use carbs with a high 'GI'(simple form).li0scc0 said:Yikes, that's a lot of pure sugar!

So your conclusion is.....?ric_stern/RST said:research that has looked at this (high v's low GI, or simple v's complex carbs) prior to exercise hasn't found this to be true (a lowering of blood glucose and exercise impairment prior to exercise).
It's also not true that high GI is equal to simple carbohydrates (or that low GI = complex carbs)

I accept that I should not have related simple/complex and high GI/low GI carbohydrates as being the same.ric_stern/RST said:research that has looked at this (high v's low GI, or simple v's complex carbs) prior to exercise hasn't found this to be true (a lowering of blood glucose and exercise impairment prior to exercise).

Clark six8 said:he's probably asking about your conclusion regarding the most optimal intake of carbs pre and post riding
ric_stern/RST said:research has shown that 1g of carb per kg body mass per hour prior to exercise is the most ergogenic. post exercise, recovery is quickened with 1.5 g of carb per kg body mass.

I'm not questioning you, I'm looking for the practical application of this information. If what you say is true, then what does it mean for the cyclist with respect to pre-ride sustenance, and post-ride replenishment?ric_stern/RST said:my conclusion on what? i'm not sure what you're questioning?
