  1. Dump the recovery drink and step away from
    the PowerBar. Fat masters can eat real food.
    There's nothing really new in this article, but it's
    nice to read something that isn't full of coaching
    urban legends:

    Andouillette. It's what's for dinner.

    Old news indeed. This "window" of rapid replenishment was talked about
    in (I think) Bicycling magazine over twenty years ago. Almost all
    athletes, even fatty masters, tend to grab at straws for performance.
    I've never used Cytomax but I have bought a lot of Clif products. Does
    it help? I still seem to be getting older; thank goodness, I dread the
    alternative. What you need is to be able to buy training time at the
    store. If I could ride as much as I did when young I could ride as
    well. (Says something about how bad I was.)

    No problem there! I've been on that regimen for decades. However,
    according to the article: “We really are talking about a group of
    extremely elite sports people who train twice a day.” I don't train
    twice a day, but I do "gravy train" twice a day or more. Does that
    count? And speaking of gravy trains, the recovery drink and powerbar
    industry frown on people trying to derail their gravy train, so be
    careful when you start your car.. ;-)

    I concur! I have been drinking red wine since I was about ten years
    old, living with my grandparents who were from northern Italy
    (Illinois Public Schools let me know I was from a "broken family".) To
    this day; often cheap but always red and always dry. Hold the ice
    cubes please. When the heat's up I tend toward margaritas with Partida
    plata, but I'll still stuff a 6 oz. glass of merlot two or three times
    a week for the medicinal qualities.

    Drinks like Ricard and Jerez are highly recommended.....by me.

    The fatty masters probably want to know when dunkin doughnuts will be
    sponsoring a team.
