SCI/241
Week One Goal Statement
My current health and fitness is at the peak. I am a professional cyclist, I train anywhere from 10-35 hours week doing a minimum of 150 mile every week. With doing that much training my nutrient intake is critical to how I preform in all of that training and racing. On a heavy training week I’m burning around 5000-7500 calories a day, so replacing that is critical and if its fast food and junk I will be sluggish and unable to preform at max effort.
Currently I don’t have any health or fitness concerns. Although in the future I will be interesting to see how I adapt to not training that much anymore but still having the desire to eat that much food.
A goal I do have for this year is to ride a total of 15,000 miles for the year. That is a huge undertaking with every week of training not being mileage heavy and only doing 150 miles a week, but with proper eating habits, looking after my body and health it will be possible.
Factors that assisted in weight maintenance • From the start of class I’ve had two race goals. The
Hotter’n Hell Hundred Road Race, and Texas State Road
Race. Both are 100 mile races and require a large amount of training. I had 5 weeks before HHH and another 4 weeks to State road race. During those weeks I averaged
350 to 450 miles a week in order to gain fitness. A long with the training I kept track of my calorie intake making sure I had enough verses limiting my calories like people do to lose weight.
• Another side goal was to try and lose weight but not focus on it, I was able to lose 4 pounds before HHH and I have sense lost another 4 pounds. This will help as the State road race is hilly.
