With Tour de France in full swing, we thought it was time to dedicate an issue to cycling. Whether you're a competitive cyclist, recreational pedaler, or simply a spin enthusiast, there's something for everyone in this edition.
Should cyclists eat keto? Does plant-based eating improve cycling performance? Should you get an e-bike? We've covered all of these topics (and more) in this Tour de France-inspired newsletter.
🇫🇷 Competitors cover 2121mi (3414km) over 23 days with only 2 rest days.
🥂 Until 1960, riders routinely drank champagne, wine, and beer during the race, making for a fun (and wobbly) ride.
🥖 Riders need 60-90g carbohydrate/hour on the bike, which is the equivalent of 4-6 slices of bread.
💦 Some cyclists lose up to 2.4L sweat/hour during the most intense stages, making fluid and electrolyte repletion a constant concern.
High-fat diets are hot right now, but carbs still reign supreme when it comes to performing at your very best. For low-intensity rides, it might be a different story.
Plant-based eating can promote long-term health without compromising performance, however, it requires thoughtful planning.
