FEEDING THE 100
Simon Jobson’s tips for fuelling your big ride
Have a breakfast of porridge and perhaps a banana two to three hours before you start.
Prepare a proteinrich snack to eat straight after the ride to aid recovery. It could be a recovery drink, or a sandwich with some protein in it. Stash that in your changing bag ready for the end.
20 to 30 minutes before the start have a banana, a couple of jelly babies or a gel.
During the ride eat small amounts every 20 to 30 minutes rather than stopping after two hours and eating lots.
After the ride, enjoy your snack and then have a meal with vegetables or salad, rice, potatoes or pasta and some form of protein.
