Not sure. On my phone so cba to search who it is, but if its Scott Jurek he eats vegan. He holds the record for the Appalachian Trail (2200 mi) and only ate vegan junkfood during the attempt due to lack of better.

Yes it was fully supported.

Ultra runner Nikki Kimball ate shitloads of eggs, cheeseburgers and bacon during while setting the female record for running Vermont's Long Trail (273km)

I cut the aubergine into discs

and placed them on skin side down

This is confusing

If you start eating early enough, fats can also be great to incorporate into your endurance foods. I can't remember her name, but this female triathlete who either won or did very well at the Alpe d'Huez triathlon some years back swore by macadamias.
Though many would still argue that it's not as effective as carbs.

Sounds gorgeous, but need more info. How did you burn them? Not exactly bbq weather unfortunately. Just broiler?

I usually stick it in the oven under the broiler and then spoon out the edible. Not always very successful though. Tell me more too please.

Make sure you let it thaw gently.

Also, 25 gram of chorizo for four?!?

Very motivating stories. May every triathlete's papzakdag be a good one.

Thanks for the advise. But I'm a stubborn guy so will try to stick to that schedule and see how my body reacts. Will consider the middle distance though.

Off to the pool. Got this simple 6 week plan to get from 0 to a mile swim. They recommend not to focus too much on technique those first six weeks, but advocate that it comes naturally if you stick to swimming thrice a week, up to a certain degree. They also mention that after those 6 weeks when you manage to swim a continuous mile without breathing stops, technique is everything and should be focussed on. Is this advise something you could concur with?

Reading this makes me want to do an Ironman as well. Not sure if I can actually achieve it though. I have never done any triathlons. I ran a marathon in 3h53m last October, but haven't ran much since. I biked 150+km with ease 3 years ago, but am most definitely not in that shape anymore. I swim like shit. Is it reasonable to hope to do an Ironman (distance) triathlon this year?

I've got quite some free time so made this training schedule which I'll be starting tomorrow. The red blocks are gym workouts. The swims won't be as determined in the beginning. I will have to start with a zero-to-1mile-plan before I can start doing any specific training anyway. Papzakdag is Dutch for fatass-day.

I personally don't find it too hard to get an intake of 90 grams of (mixed) carbohydrates during exercise. A combination of solid, liquid and gel carbs makes it quite doable. Dried figs are made of pure win. Below is much scientific food for the brain for those who are interested.

Carbohydrates for training and competition

Abstract

An athlete's carbohydrate intake can be judged by whether total daily intake and the timing of consumption in relation to exercise maintain adequate carbohydrate substrate for the muscle and central nervous system (“high carbohydrate availability”) or whether carbohydrate fuel sources are limiting for the daily exercise programme (“low carbohydrate availability”). Carbohydrate availability is increased by consuming carbohydrate in the hours or days prior to the session, intake during exercise, and refuelling during recovery between sessions. This is important for the competition setting or for high-intensity training where optimal performance is desired. > Carbohydrate intake during exercise should be scaled according to the characteristics of the event. During sustained high-intensity sports lasting ∼1 h, small amounts of carbohydrate, including even mouth-rinsing, enhance performance via central nervous system effects. > While 30–60 g · h−1 is an appropriate target for sports of longer duration, events >2.5 h may benefit from higher intakes of up to 90 g · h−1. Products containing special blends of different carbohydrates may maximize absorption of carbohydrate at such high rates. In real life, athletes undertake training sessions with varying carbohydrate availability. Whether implementing additional “train-low” strategies to increase the training adaptation leads to enhanced performance in well-trained individuals is unclear.

Nutritional Recommendations to Avoid Gastrointestinal Distress During Exercise

Is more carbohydrate during exercise better? and how much is too much?

Cant seem to find a good electric pressure cooker in the EU. Something like cuisinart's cpc600 or similar. Can anyone recommend me a place where icould find one?

Thanks guys. Will get into this.

Fish sauce was serious. Adds good umami depth to bolognese.

Always wanted a downhill machine like this. Shame not my size. GLWS.

What about 2XU?

Try some fish sauce in your ragu.

Didn't even know tri shorts existed. Thanks!
