[QUOTE="FantomPoet, post: 1807158, member: 47839"] I have not done sportives for at least four years but have been getting myself back into Ketosis lately and intending to restart once again. I've been working in the United States so I also have many pounds to shift first. I found on the 'Epic' courses I would Bonk around 70 miles when I was using carbs and need to ram carbs down my throat just before that happened. I then went into Ketosis around 20g a day whilst still doing around 300-400 miles a week never really having a great problem. My natural cadence is only around 72rpm so I am more a Diesel type of rider and did find my peak wattage was lower until I fully tranistioned into Ketosis which took a long time 2-3 months. I would love to do the higher cadences but just cant whether I am on Carbs or in Ketosis. Once in Ketosis I could do a full 'Epic' without stopping or craving for food. I did the the shorter London to Brighton on a fast as was too busy racking the bike on the car etc and forgot to eat before skooting down to London for the start and it really didn't matter. No Highs no Lows just cycling. Now I am even more missing it and need to get some more miles in to shed these extra flabby bits :meh: [/QUOTE]
