As I continue to experiment with endurance ride nutrition, the struggle I am having is the post-ride question: “Did that work?” Only 1 long ride (>3 hours) per week hasn’t given me a great sample set to give me confidence in my perception of success or failure.
One metric is to look at how you feel the next day. The goal of the nutrition here is to get you through it, so if you feel too depleted, you probably didn't feed enough.
