Ok in an effort to get some more miles munched i've conveinced the OH to get up early with the kids a few times a week enabling be to get up with the sparrows and get some miles in.
So if you were getting up at 5.30 and wanting to get 2 - 2.5 hours and be back by 8.15 when would you eat? a lot the evening before? A fair bit in the morning? or a tide over in the morning and the bigger breakfast when back from ride?
Riding wise it'll be either on the road bike or MTB depending what i'm aiming for...
All 3!
I eat normal the night before then nothing in the morning with a banana about an hour in. Suits me
Pasta the night before, maybe something light (toast for example) 30 min before hand.
I'd have a banana or two before setting off. But make sure i had this on my return

You know it makes sense 🙂
Binners - Brown Sauce?!! its just wrong!
I feel really weak on the bike with an empty stomach so I'd have my usual breakfast before hand and then something when I get back to replace the burned calories.
swimming and running however can be done on a banana and a cup of tea then have breakfast after I've finished.
Kev
You're not one of those freaks who has tomato ketchup with a breakfast are you? Got to be brown sauce with sausages
No tommy k here, the beans provide all the sauce I should need without having to mix some rectal discharge into the mix...
fair enough 🙂
I had a fair bit to eat last night (after a 1.5 hr ride from 18:00-19:30) including a big cake in bed 😛
Got up this morning had 3 cups of tea and a banana and went out again at 10:00 am and I seemed to be flying, espescially about 30 mins in. I had bags of energy and recovery time was short.
I think I'll go and get half pissed now so that I'm back to square 1 tomorrow 😯
Thats the spirit fella. I'm just about to have nice healthy tuna pasta before a night ride. Then its big unhealthy breakfast tomorrow and a ger big all day outing in the Peaks
I'nt this weather BRILLLLLLLIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!! 😀
