Roger, that. A few ideas (not to be confused with suggestions):
-
Can you extend your lunch break by getting to work earlier? I’m thinking shift the Tues/Thurs workouts from early morning to lunch. If so, then you stand a better shot at being fully fueled when you hit the bike. (You also stand a better shot of missing the workout, because life.)
-
I’ve noticed a big impact from doing my workouts after giving food a bit of time to make it into the works. That’s really tough if you’re up at 4:40 and on the bike a 5am. There’s a thread here discussing people’s tinkering with a carb-centered snack/meal right before bed, which might be of some use.
