Evolution of Training and Nutrition in Cycling

Training and nutrition for cyclists evolve significantly with age and experience. Cyclists often start without much focus on nutrition, able to eat freely due to their youth and active metabolism. As they mature, integrating core training becomes essential, alongside a deeper understanding of nutritional needs. It's important for athletes to maintain a balanced approach to food, allowing occasional indulgences while avoiding obsessive restrictions. This balance helps in managing weight during the off-season and maintaining a healthy relationship with food. Athletes may find that their weight fluctuations are minor and mostly related to factors like hydration rather than significant dietary changes.
