Help!!!
So I'm trying to get back into long distance stuff but I'm very out of practice. I have been riding regularly and often, and I do train before breakfast so it's not like I'm full of carbs every time I ride.
But I have done 200ks the last 2 weekends and kept getting emergency sugar needs! Will this go away again the more I do of them, I can't remember what endurance stuff feels like any more.
I do use myfitnesspal- this weekend I ate loads. Did a 200k on Sat, ate 3200 cals, then did an 80 mile sportive on Sun, ate 2,500 cals. Today I'm starving. I did 90 mins this morning before breakfast, I'd normally eat 1800 on days where I only do one session of 90 mins, but this has gone to pot today, I'll be at least 500 over that I think I'm so hungry.
I do want to get back to these long rides, but I don't want to get fat. Today I had porridge for breakfast with protein powder, banana and a few nuts, I've had a broad bean and light feta salad for lunch, plus an apple, grapefruit, half a beetroot flapjack thing, a small protein bar snack thing, and some fruit/nuts mix thing and am still really hungry. Help!!! How can I control my jaws that don't want to stop?
