Italy Training Recap – Cycling, Diet, and Core Sessions

Hey team!

Just sharing a quick update from my trip in Andora, Italy during the Ascension weekend. It’s been a solid training block focused mainly on cycling, while keeping a tight eye on diet, and squeezing in some core work too.

Cycling Sessions Summary:

Wednesday (arrival day):

• Short ride cut off by a flat: 26km / 376m D+
• Still managed to keep a solid average power (140W) before stopping.

Thursday:
Double ride day

• Morning: 22km / 527m elevation
• Afternoon: 22km / 527m again
  ↳ Stronger effort, average power 158W, NP 185W, some good zone 4/5 work and sprints.

Friday:


Climbing day

• 50.9km / 1329m elevation gain
• Avg power: 156W, NP: 186W
• Solid tempo with two long climbs, over 2.5 hours in the saddle. Fatigue started to kick in but great effort.

Saturday (today):

• Morning ride: 48.7km / 1031m D+, 161W avg power, NP 188W
• Steady pace, solid zone 3/4, great cadence and energy. Recovery nutrition on point post-ride.

Sunday:

Longer ride planned again tomorrow before heading back Monday. Let’s finish strong!

Core Training:

With no gym on site, I added:

• 2 core/kettlebell sessions during the trip (planks, Russian twists, goblet squats, woodchops etc.)
  Great to stay active and maintain some muscular engagement beyond the bike

Diet & Supplementation:

• Daily protein intake managed well (~200g/day) using whey (3-4 scoops/day based on meals).
• Post-ride shakes: 50g whey + 50g dextrin — straight after rides.
• Meals: mostly grilled lean meats (chicken, fish, beef), pasta, potatoes, and salads.
  ↳ Kept portions clean and balanced despite eating out often.
• Took creatine and morning supps daily — only exception might be tonight due to Champions League Final

What’s next?

• Sunday: final Italy ride
• Monday: heading home
• Monday evening: back to the gym — push day to restart the full-body split.
