So, what's been happening?

No, but it still sounds like an ideal manager for me; I want my manager
not to pay too much attention to what I do.

 

****. You're spot on with all three points. There's a 50/50 chance I
may end up working for a French Director; well, it'll be an
experience...

I read a headline on someone else's paper this morning that referred to
an article about recruits at Sandhurst. It reckons they scoff 5000
calories a day. And still lose weight...

I'd walk the Arctic if it gave me an excuse to eat 7 Variety Meals a
day.

 

It's ok. I start to feel hungry about an hour before I normally eat,
whereas I never used to feel hungry at all during the day.

My normal intake of calories was fine for my level of exercise, my
weight was constant.

The plan is to continue with the 2000 calories a day until I hit 15
stone[1], then go back to normal, with the aim being for my weight to
be stable at 15st rather than 16st.

I should point out that when I have a hard training session, I do up
the calorie intake in advance. Last weekend, for example, I did a
100km road ride so ate around 10k calories the day before.

This Sunday I'm doing 50km around High Peak in the Peak District so
will be carbo-loading for that as well.

[1] Another month I reckon.

 

Yup. The calorie counting is only for when I'm being a desk-jockey.
But it obviously illustrates that I only need a couple of thousand
calories to work a PC.

I don't understand this, your appetite is two or three days behind your
lifestyle. Exercise today, eat for it the day after tomorrow.

'Course I am a naturally skinny **** so really it is a case of don't do
what I say but do what I do, which is: eat when hungry and drink when
not.

 

You're about to make a 250 mile journey on any one of your trusty steeds
- do you:

a) Fill up with fuel only after you have completed the journey
or
b) Fill up as much as you can before you go, topping up as necessary on
route and then replenish at the end of your journey?

There is a world of difference between the timing of energy requirements
for living beings and mechanical ones and if you don't understand that
you can just **** off.

 

This applies to what one would perhaps call, normal situations - but to
embark on a 100mile bike ride, with nothing more than your standard
intake would be a foolish thing.

Unless your standard intake is of the right calorific value for such a
journy, in which case, too many pies.

I don't disagree but the facts appear to be that your appetite is a
couple of days behind your energy use. Presumably we are designed with
a large reserve.

No such thing.

 

appetite yes, but that's a desire. Your Bikes have no desire to be full
of fuel or only half full. Or even empty. They won't grumble - until you
try and exceed their capability with said fuel.

This however has nothing to do with preparation - if you know you need
more than your usual reserve - you top up before embarking on the journey,

Nope. You need your body to already have the energy reserves in place
before you call on them.

Otherwise, as Champ said, you bonk, or "hit the wall".

 

I don't think Steve does any bonking these days, Ben.

You go looking for food before you are hungry do you?

I've never heard it called that before.

 

Not under normal circumstances, no.

But 100km rides, and mtb marathons are not exactly normal
circumstances.
