time to resurrect this old thread
at the moment I keep suffering an energy crash on my way home from fencing training
before i left work I had a big bowl of pasta at around 6pm
cycled to fencing to arrive at 7.15 (fencing is up at chalk farm)
did an hour of core body training (medicine ball exercises, plyometrics etc) and then fenced until 9.30 - had 2 lucozade sports drinks during the training session and then 2 pieces of fruit
by the time i got to shepherds bush i could feel the bonk coming on, starting to feel lightheaded and noticing my spatial awareness was not as good
at this point should i just slow down a bit and ride through the energy crash?
i tend to find myself stopping at a corner shop and grabbing a can of nourishment (excuseable as its not that different from a protein shake) and a chocolate bar (not so good)
would i be better off having a stash of dried fruit and nuts (trail mix or similar) to snack on before leaving fencing?
should i have eaten more fruit at the end of training?
when i got home i proceeded to eat everything in my fridge - pork pie, cold roast beef, and tomato salad
the bit that is most important to me is what should i snack on after training before my ride home to avoid the bonk or should i just htfu and ride through it?

i like climbing hills to the sound of bells...
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=KevUFO2moZII remember when Jeff used to play this of the bronze lacquer, it was just known as the brown record by my flatmates at university (we were detroit techno obsessives) though if you are climbing hills at 130-135 rpm thats pretty good going.

interesting, will avoid the lucozade in future, had already ordered a few kg of protein powder today - i tend to mix it up with a couple of bananas when i get home from training
i struggle to remain hydrated - generally get through a few litres of water in a training session - after the first hour i had to wring my t-shirt out - come summer i can get through 3 or 4 litres of water in an evenings training
cheers for the advice, i think i may have to stock up on fruit and nuts - though part of my problem is fuck all impulse control, if i have food around i eat it
