As a chef and rapha ambassador, lentinealexis knows that fuelling is fundamental to performance. She aims to eat something every hour she’s on the bike. Which, during the #Festive500, is a feat in itself. A week of riding means a lot of hours to bank, and a lot of snacks to make. Lentine’s recommendations: use simple carbs and sweet flavoured foods to keep inflammation down and the energy up. On long rides, add in protein and fats, making sure to refuel with a post-ride recovery meal. lentinealexis’ Chewy Triple Ginger Cookie recipe takes less than 30 minutes to make and has a lot of the nutrients you’ll need to fuel your 500.
