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.
Hey Tristan, This was an excellent, thorough, personal & especifically rich video! Thank you, Ben, Jack & Mike for their awesome participation & support! Wish to see more of these Vids! Take care! & stay awesome, James
You just get better and better Tristan and are by far the best on TH-cam. I like to watch 10 min videos of anyone else but I am always delighted when you do longer videos because the content is awesome.
It is good Mike was objective with his sugar intake numbers. 60g an hour is pretty low sugar intake per hour if you want to feel fresh and vital when you come home. 100-150g of sugar per hour is best for recovery and coming home like you can still function around the house or at work.
I just discovered and joined the channel today, and I have got to say your videos are well done and educational. This is my fourth or fifth video of the day (recouping from a small injury) and I have enjoyed and learned from everyone.
As usual really enjoyed the video but this one very informative I've a 100 mile club ride this Sunday and I will not be running on empty like I did last week on our climbing ride I had severe cramps and had to bail out on the way back home, keep up the great videos Tristram looking forward to the next one... Brian..
This was very insightful gathering information on how these guys eat and fuel their training, I really enjoyed listening to each of them talk. On another topic it would be interesting to learn what type of off bike training these guys do such as weight training, stretching / mobility etc.
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.
This was absolutely fantastic 10/10, thanks for doing this. It’s so good when you learn something new and some confirmation of what you are doing is on the right track. Best thing I’ve watched in a while.
Totally agree with the general sentiment that this is one of your best videos to date and not just the 3 pro's views on nutrition but your also plus the thoughts behind you training ride. It is nice to hear whilst not a pro but a strong and quality rider's reason behind his rides and what you were trying to achieve. Not easy to get regular access to pro riders but this is the direction your regular videos should go - my humble opinion . Nothing more. You have personality for this line of work. Tx.
Top video, enjoyed the perspectives of the pros and very cool to see the diversity of approaches. Pretty keen to try Ben O's Tiramisu diet, think he's onto something there. Also liked the hybrid car analogy. One alternative theory about your post-ride weight loss - consuming glycogen and the water associated with it can cause significant weight loss. Each gram of glycogen is hydrated with 3-4g of water, and a fit individual like you can hold 400-500g of glycogen. Put it all together and tapping out your glycogen stores can lead to 2kg of weight loss by itself (this is why folks who commit to a keto diet almost always 'see results' in the first week as they burn off their glycogen stores).
Thanks for the comment! Very poignant. There’s so much that goes into nutrition and how to eat and even in a 30 minute video I feel like I barely scratched the surface. I would also have liked to report more on Ben’s tiramisu diet as that’s why most of us REALLY ride…😁
Fantastic video! I've been incorporating the advice from Ben O'Connor, Jack Haig, and Mike Woods into my cycling nutrition routine. I also find the Pacing Sticker to be an invaluable tool for planning and pacing my rides. Thanks for sharing this valuable insight!
@tristantakesvideo thanks for putting up this content. You just helped me start figuring a very important aspect that was missing in my cycling life🙏 you are 🌟 keep rockin 🤙🏽🤟🏽
I love this videos with top class pros! Related to nutrition: I'd like to know what kind of supplements profesional cyclist use. I'm particularly cusious about creatine (Do you personally use it?). Maybe it's a good idea for a future video... Thanks!
Great vid as always, intersting and useful content in this one. Your ability to get top end World Tour pros to be so open , relaxed and honest in your content is a great skill and makes your videos really engaging. Chapeau keep the vids coming!
@@tristantakevideo Thanks Mate....watched it already :) really, really helpful and interesting....I'm committed to Tour Divide 2023 and won't have a dynamo hub, so It's great to hear and see your perspective on using batteries. Nitecore make some nice light products. Will you do a video on your nutrition strategy??
A lot of good advice here. I did a 200 mile road race this summer in Sweden and I really had to educate myself more about how much to eat while riding - it's one thing to ride 2-3 hours and come up a little short on fuel, it's another to be out there 4+ hours and not eating enough. It really catches up to you. If you train with a power meter, you can actually get a pretty good starting point. Take how many kilojules / calories you've burned in a given ride, divide it by the time you road, and multiply by 20% for lower intensity efforts, 30% for higher intensity efforts and you'll find out how many calories an hour you need to be replenishing. For a lot of people, this will end up somewhere between 180-225 calories an hour. Pro-level riders have trained their bodies to ingest more carbohydrates than us mere mortals can.
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.
Love hearing about the pros because it’s very interesting but I enjoy more so what you are doing for nutrition and your training on the bike. This is great material and well done to you.
Great Video! I also really liked the video on the FTP test with insight from the pros. Idea for another video: how does the daily routine of the pros look like in terms of strength and mobility? As many cyclists are struggling with injuries it would be super interesting to get some insights on injury prevention and becoming a better athlete
Such a good vid man. Been watching for awhile now and love the insights. Thanks for putting out great content and really showing the side of the pro's we don't get to see! Ben O'Connor and the rest seem like such cool blokes!
Fantastic content Tristan. Subscribed. Awesome to be having the carbs per hour chat with the pros. Mike Woods: "not a lot of carbs this ride, so maybe like 40-60g/hr." Refreshing to hear him say 40-60 is "not much." So many people hear pro's say they're going a little lower carb for a ride and think "maybe I should try
Thanks a lot, very useful. We can access to a lot of great content from nutritionists, but most of them do not know exactly what riders are really doing on the field, and not in the lab... Your video is very well made, not a lot of "bla bla", keep going !
When I see video and it is 30 minuts long about eating, I think this video is not for me. But i start watching and watch full video and i must say You are good reporter. Nice questions and lots of useful information You received form pros. Thanks Tristan.
Love your video's Tristan! Have you considered that during this 3 hour ride on a hot day, you are only consuming drinks that have a hypertone compound? Might be interesting.
Great vid, interesting to hear their thoughts and your own. I hope this wet winter down under so that I can start putting in some longer rides. It was a tough break for Mike!
Next video, fasting… a lot of Pros I know fast to teach the body to run on empty and still push the power. Be insightful to actually hear what the top guys have to say. Great video
Another great video Tristan, it’s interesting to see what these guys are eating on a day to day basis given their training/racing volumes. Definitely some tid bits we can all apply to our own nutrition plans. I will say this though, because of your videos I’ve become a huge fan of Letherette but there’s no damn way I’m ever eating porridge! 😉👊🏻
Thanks Tristain. Nice video and some interesting insights to their different approaches. Great to have access to the pro's and be able to film this kind of stuff. None of them touched on ketone esters? I also wonder what they make of older (40's / 50's) recreational cyclists doing the "pro diet" thing - do they (we) really need to take it quite so seriosuly as up and coming racers / genuine pro's.
If you want to do the watts, you gotta eat or you bonk. No way about it. The longer the ride, even, you will deplete glycogen stores, so even for low intensity.
For the pro riders that count calories, I'd love to know, if theyre not aiming to lose weight, do they eat back all of their calories burned in training or do they burn so much that they're always in calorie defecit.
NOBODY really knows how much calories they consume, digest, need and or burn in a given day. NOBODY! Go with basic numbers then go with feeling to cross reference.
@@tristantakevideo i do lots of intervals, intensity training and race. Just one if these idiots that for some strange reason tryes to get away with as little as possible 🙈
Wow… none of them said a breakfast burrito with jalapeños… what theeeee hell… clearly I’ve been doing this wrong… 😆🍻
They did, I just left that bit out…😉
@@tristantakevideo 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Arguably the best "what pros eat" video; direct from your pros friends. What a treat! Very informative. Cards on the table. Graçies once more!
Thanks my friend! 🤜🏼🤛🏼

Is Mike Woods not obliged to wear team kit in training?
I was thinking the same. Normally he would be...
Mike’s allowed to wear his custom Woods Cardio Club kit for training. One of the few (if not only) WT pro’s with this agreement with his team.
Great video.... i clearly dont eat enough!!!
Try eating more while on the bike. You’ll notice a huge difference, especially if you’re doing anything with intensity.
