Wow… none of them said a breakfast burrito with jalapeños… what theeeee hell… clearly I’ve been doing this wrong… 😆🍻

Arguably the best "what pros eat" video; direct from your pros friends. What a treat! Very informative. Cards on the table. Graçies once more!
-
Mate this is gold. As a runner transitioning into cycling, it's interesting to hear Mike's take on his experience in particular. Thanks for taking the time to put this together - best vid you've put out to date.

As. a person who started cycling about 2 years ago as a way to lose weight and become active again, this video is a goldmine of info. I feel into the "keto low carb" lifestyle. While it did help me get ffrom 305lbs to about 230lbs currently, I did plateau. I felt weak and burned out on hard efforts. I decided to change my diet back to a more "traditional" way of eating about 2 months ago. I struggled with how, when, and what to eat, and this video helps answer some of those questions. Thank you for sharing this.

Great video. Thank you for the info. I have just started taking on a few longer rides and am beginning to consider the best ways of fueling. This was a valuable watch.
