Cycling training is a notoriously difficult beast to master. Part of this is simply the various different factors involved. From nutrition to cycling gear, there is a lot you need to consider before you even get on the bike. Then when you do, cycling is often high-intensity, especially if you want to compete in cycling races, challenges and events. This means that you are putting your body through intense training and pressure and this can feel impossible if you are starting from the bottom. Your cardio and general fitness levels may not be at the level you need to endure long or quick rides.

When it comes to sport, the rise of vegan diets have often been a consideration in modern meal prep and nutrition. Ensuring that you get the right amount of protein and necessary minerals and vitamins can be difficult without meat products. The vegan diet has many advantages and disadvantages when it comes to nutrients and allowing for that in a meal plan when training can be difficult. This gets even more challenging when you up the distance.

We’ve covered running and cycling but perhaps the one of the most accessible and popular sports for adventurous challenges is hiking.
