pra quem gosta de pensar fora do tradicional : This is the phase of training where it may be most appropriate to achieve (or get close to) the specific body composition goals you have for the season. For example if your aim is to drop some excess body fat, then this is the time to do it. The reason for this is simple – research in the last few years has shown that base endurance adaptations can be achieved without perfect nutritional preparation for each session, so restricting energy (and particularly carbohydrate) before long but only moderately intense training sessions is not a problem. So during this phase don’t be too concerned if you’re heading out for a long ride without a full tank of carbs – even if you have to ride slower to get through the session you’ll still get the same benefit (ie. adaptations happening in the muscle afterwards) as you would have riding harder with extra carbs on board.
