Energy. That which we cannot miss when we are pedaling. If we run out, we are doomed to suffer until the end.
The kilometers are eternal. Where does the body get the energy to pedal? First, from muscle glycogen and once we run out of glycogen, you get it from fat. So glycogen is the first thing to replenish. And it is essential to do it as soon as possible to promote a better recovery. In case we have another demanding activity the next day, we will not run out of energy reservations.
Taking advantage of the "window effect" will allow us to refill our muscles with glycogen more effectively because this is the moment when the muscle is most receptive to storing energy again.
