Periodised Nutrition

The main change I'm making regards weight management is to follow a periodised nutrition plan.

This is pretty simple in practice. It just means only eating high carbohydrate food (rice, pasta, wheat and the like) during exercise or in the 12 hours before a high intensity session. 

Otherwise I'll eat a mixed diet with plenty of protein, vegatables and fruit. 

The only exception to this is a bowl of porridge for breakfast before a long low ride.

One key thing about this is that I will not be trying to replenish my glycogen post workout. I'll just take a small amount of high GI carbs along with protein.
