Australian researchers studying glycogen, your number-one fuel while cycling, found that downing five to six regular cups with carbohydrate-rich meal helps your body refuel faster. For the study, a group of seven cyclists performed a two-day trial. On the first day they biked to exhaustion and ate a low-carb meal to deplete glycogen stores. The following day they again biked to exhaustion, but followed the workout with either a plain high-carb drink, or one with eight grams of caffeine for every kilogram of body weight (or 3.6 gram per pound). The test was repeated a second time with subject taking the opposite drink on the second day. ____________________ Kopi Luwak
