Chris Froome: Team Sky's unprecedented release of data reveals how British rider won Giro d'Italia
"Team Sky have taken the unprecedented step of releasing a cache of data to BBC Sport detailing Chris Froome's diet, power output and heart-rate from the Briton's victory in May's Giro d'Italia."
.....interesting for you cyclists out there! He's got a nearly dead resting heart rate of 32.
He's often cited as a low carb athlete by team keto......but hang on a minute.....
"On stage 19 he ate 1.3kg of carbs - enough calories for four men to get through an ordinary day. Even his recovery snack contains 2,500 calories, which is enough for a man for one day - and eaten in 20 minutes after the stage has finished."
A drink he knocks back is called rocket fuel......
"It's multiple-source carbohydrate drink. It contains a mixture of maltodextrin and fructose. That science has been around for a long time. What makes it different is the quantity of carbohydrate. Most sports drinks contain roughly 20-40g of carbohydrate. This contains 80g."
Quite extraordinary details and interesting insights.....enjoy
