Better workout with food!

2 days after my fast I was still feeling a bit tired but after a long morning walk and lunch, and a bit of diy, I got on the bike again to see if I would be a bit stronger. 

I’ve signed up to an 80/20 training plan starting in a couple of weeks, so I’m trying to get used to easy rides, something I’ve never done before!

Saturday was Tour of Watopia, 30k and about an hour. My longest ride since starting this Keto thing. I intended to keep my heart rate around 130 and see how much power I could maintain. 

I was comfortable today, heart rate bang on, and power 150W. So much better than Thursday. The power of food!

On Sunday, I went a bit harder and a bit longer, averaging 180W for 90 minutes. Heart rate was 145 bpm average, so still fairly comfortable, and I felt good throughout.

I'll probably continue with easier workouts for a while until I start my 80/20 plan properly, but may throw in a harder session or two to see how I cope.
