That’s the simple version of it. People who have experimented a bit with it see that once they have an aerobic base built up (you’ll know when you do) that the decline of age lessens rather than being linear. There are also downward adjustments for condition and health when starting out, as

So Maffetone is basically advocating riding at a pulse rate below 180bpm- your age? That keeps in the zone for fat burning? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it,

I'm 10 days in to a very low carb diet, and I've struggled on rides over 40 miles at a pace of 17.5-ish mph, which is my normal June pace for my standard routes. I've lost about 9 pounds, so it's working, but it's clear my body is still transitioning. I'm much slower, and I've never before had

When I began longer rides and working out after a month of EBDJ, I often drank an Atkins shake 30 minutes before a workout. This helped tremendously. I can now easily ride 25 miles or do a boot camp class at the gym burning 1000 calories without eating. It took my body about a month with the

Woke up this morning feels like 0 recovery after 22 mile commute yesterday. So tired. Normally even 30 mile commutes are no prob on regular diet. I guess just takes time for body to adjust. The 16 mile commute earlier this week was ok for recovery. Maybe I will stick to that route and try 22

I've been attempting to follow EBDJ for about the same amount of time as you. Initially, I was expecting some muscle weakness or decrease in energy especially on longer (3 - 4 hr rt's) rides. It just hasn't been a factor, and I'm not hungry for food during the ride. I have lost over 10

Yeah, I noticed that, too. Not hungry at all really. I guess the fat really fills you up! Legs were dead today. It was an 11 mile slog home. But still fun. Slow going. Super low cadences. Lotsa coasting at every chance. Legs shot. Thighs Burned at any hard efforts. Wierd. Never like this in

It would be ketones. The goal of keto diet is for your body to deplete all glucose stores in your body for ketogenesis. Your body will naturally look for an alternative energy source, proteins being the next easiest source of energy. However, your body doesn't want that to happen (as it
