Hey

This week's newsletter is out and this week I will discuss

5 Cycling Nutrition Mistakes That Are Quietly Sabotaging Your Goals

When I first got properly into cycling and endurance events, I thought I knew what I was doing.

Especially when I was training for an Ironman or a big triathlon — I was actually pretty mindful of fuelling during those events.

But outside of race day?

Completely different story.

On normal training rides, I'd pretty much wing it — sometimes skipping breakfast, sometimes grabbing whatever snacks were lying around afterwards.

Big mistake.

What I eventually learned (the hard way) is this:

👉 You don’t just fuel for racing. You fuel for training too.

Because training is where the adaptations happen — and if you’re underfuelled, you’re not building fitness. You’re just digging a deeper hole.

And just to add a bit of extra honesty here:

I also had a lovely habit of coming home from a ride and absolutely destroying a full packet of biscuits.

(Not even a bit sorry — they were those delicious Wispa biscuits... once that wrapper came off, it was game over.)

So today, I want to save you from making the same mistakes I did.

Here are 5 cycling nutrition mistakes I see all the time, why they quietly kill your progress, and what to do instead — backed by proper science, not random internet guesses.
