And that becomes the problem hann. What we think of as proper food . Ie fruit, veg, pasta, rice etc etc etc actually doesnt help. You cannot actually replace all the vitamins and minerals that are lost through food alone if your training hundreds of miles a week . Hence recovery injections and doping. You can only go so far on btead and water.
You are right Daz! Since my friend threw himself up as a coach, I ave lost 5 kilo's and am eating a LOT more than before... I have been feeling tired, but that is not unusual if you work that hard and am perpetually hungry... I do take vitamin and mineral supplements, as well as calcium and iron and do have a protein shake after every ride/race...Originally Posted by daz h
Not been ill at all though, and energy levels are high
25 cold wet windy miles, followed by pyramid sets when I got home. Loved every minute of it :thumbup:
Vitamin pills i dont believe in. But the other two ways of taking them i can understand. I studies vitamin uptake rates once.Thats why pro cyclists have to inject with vitamins. I wont mention the other way of taking them. You will already know being a woman.I know someone who use to take vitamin patches as wellYou are right Daz!

After a shopping trip to nottingham with my son who i introduced to paul smith clothes about five years ago , bad move. I decided to do my usual 55 miler. Good weather and good pace.Fitted a new set of tyres before setting off.. Not pro race 3s but trying the michelin krylions. First impressions are very good.Oh i did crack in paul smith and purchased a new shirt.
Are we having a "Today's New Shirt" thread?? :w00t:
Ohhhhh a Paul Smith shirt... can we see it?
Good choice Daz. Big big fan of Paul Smith as I may have already said. Got a number of fine pieces including a rather lovely suit and some nice black dipped brogues. May daily work bag is also Paul Smith had it a year now and it's still as good as new.
Err sadly no as my lad has gone out in it.Thats the usual case. I buy a shirt ( im not telling how many paul smith things i have) and he borrows them. I may see it again in a few weeks, could be months. I dont mind.My philosophy has always been to get something decent and it lasts. Its the same with cycling gear. I know the guys at paul smith, the manager is a roadie, im a roadie, we talk cycling, we get on well.Its a shame that rapha gear is going and they are not doing anymore.Ohhhhh a Paul Smith shirt... can we see it?
Yes eavesy the bags are nice. My most treasured item is my paul smith wallet. Its the one with the rather fetching woman printed inside it. I know that wallet will see me out. Its a lovely item
