spoke to graham obree at length in 1995 and he explained that he got close to blacking out during a pursuit, had tunnel vision etc, and would be coughing up blood after a final and the hour attempts. i suspect his central governor was bitch-slapped on an on-going basis, in fact he may have had it nuked from orbit.

but can you bring on ischaemia by over exertion in the absence of an aggravating condition?

Probably not. As LabMonkey says, in an otherwise fit individual there are plenty of things that will stop you first. Having said that sudden cardiac death in previous fit people probably has an ischaemic basis on top of a previously undiagnosed and symptom free heart problem.
Cheerful thought for the night....

stoner, I'll send you something in the post that will have you moshing up hills like they're not there. as long as you are under 50, don't have a heart condition or high blood pressure you'll be fine.
It may make you a bit manic for a while
oh and it's legal

no this is a magic powder. I've touched your magic ring before crimbo, it's all anodised was going off for a visit to the laser etching chaps so hopefully next few days will see some distribution of SS power!

OK, I think the answer to this in my case is lazy arsed git, however:
I don't feel the burn, pretty much ever. I've never exercised until it hurts and when I try I get what stoner had as my limiting factor - I just run out of power. I ride with a mate who's fitter and faster than me, so I do try a bit hard now & then
My diet is shit and I exercise rarely and sporadically
All I can suggest it that Stoner is turning into a fat nancy like me

magic powder eh? Essence of Innis & Gunn. Just add water?
d'ya realise what you've started? I picked up 3x of those hefty bottles at the shops today to tide the adults over for Jr's birthday party tomorrow. Should see'em through.

I dont "exercise", scaredy you porky pants. I ride my bike. I used to ride my bike till it hurt (for years and years), I got used to it but lately I found I could ride my bike until I couldnt turn the crank, but before it hurt. That's weirded me out.

I dont "exercise", I ride my bike.
That's all I'm offering an' allBut I used (say 25 years ago
) to be much much fitter for my age than I am now. I wonder if "something" works up to a level that I'm incapable of achieving or even getting close to because of that.
(I mostly played footy which has enough "rest" in a game for me not to have hurt while doing it, but I was pretty bloody fit at the time)Posted 4 months ago # -

So hold on; iDave went round to meet Mrs Stoner for a 'business meeting', then Stoner went down the pub, leaving the two of them to it?
Does it come with subtitles is all I want to know. Cos there's nowt more frustrating than not knowing what the hell people are talking about, I mean they could be talking about 'Scandinavian Venture Capital' for all I know.

ooo, new one to me that tazz. Will look it out.
As for your special blend of 'phets.... Elfin - yep that's what happens everytime a business woman has a meeting. they get all rumpy pumpy.
Probably why there's so few female FTSE 100 board members, too busy shaggin'. Now behave or I set the sassenach anti-misogywhat on you.

I know that for the first few weeks of iDiet I wasn't consuming enough energy and would feel cold and need more sleep.
I think my body has adapted well now and it's amazing how a couple of ounces of pasta pre-ride will get me up the hills as if I'm on rocket fuel (another singlespeeder here).
I can feel the benefits of the 14kg that I'm not having to lug around, and I don't run out of energy now.Posted 4 months ago # -
couple of ounces of pasta pre-ride
I thought that wasnt kosher.
But yes, when I have taken a carb hit it has worked wonders. But it feels like cheating Posted 4 months ago # -
It works for me.
