Fuelling when laid low with ‘manflu’
I just wondered what people in the group do apart from intravenous Lemsip and the like. Do you cut back on calories or even increase them? I’ve been in a really good spot recently training and nutrition wise and want to get back asap and in good shape.
New Nutrition Module
Folks, delighted to add an amazing new resource into the Nutrition module. It's the start of a series i'm building with Dr David Dunne. David is the co-founder of Hexis and consults with or directly manages the Nutrition for over 30% of all World Tour riders. In this masterclass we unpack the idea of “gas in the tank” and how to line up your fuelling with the actual demands of your training and racing. We walk through the four big building blocks that really move the needle for performance: understanding your session demands, planning your carbs across the day, matching your gas levels to key workouts, and using feedback to refine things over time. He also shares some really cool data from Bob Jungles Tour de France stage win, showing exactly the energy costs of winning a tour stage. It's in the Nutrition Module in classrooms.

Hexis Tip
Last week I was chatting to somebody who was using hexis and it seemed like he was really underfuelling. Sounded like he was empty when starting the sessions and I got the sense that energy was down significantly compared to normal. He had been using hexis and was happy with his progress but all of a sudden it seemed like he was way hungrier than normal and something wasn’t adding up. He checked his weight goal on hexis and somehow it had slashed his weekly weight loss goal to 1.8kg! He was almost at his target weight so he definitely did not need to lose the last couple of kgs that fast. He definitely didn’t intentionally set the weight loss to 1.8kg so I don’t know if he hit a button by accident or if the app just 💩 itself. Just be careful and check that you have the correct weight target set whether it’s to lose weight, maintain weight etc. You need to check this on the website not through the app. Under profile, then Health & Performance, then move the slider to a "healthy" deficit. Usually .5kg a week. “In my case it was set to a 15% caloric deficit, and the more I exercised the more it would trim my calories. I was wondering why when I completed workouts I would lose 200ish calories off of my day.” Might just be a once off thing but this could have had big implications if it went unnoticed.
Hexis Tip
Carb fuelling
Coaches Came across this today https://www.instagram.com/p/DTxwuVJFQIV/?img_index=12&igsh=MWYybXZkNnhtMWh1dg== Basically saying we got it all wrong with the emphasis of high carb fuelling on workouts. Interested in your thoughts
New cookbook
I know a lot of the group are using Hexis. I found myself defaulting to the same few recipes, which isn't a good gut microbiome move. We put together a short cookbook to give you inspiration & some fresh food ideas. It's under "Nutrition" in Classrooms or here's the link https://www.skool.com/roadmancycling/classroom/fae2c6a7?md=bac5129a06f34e79b7c64202cc2c8013
