19 – Fueling Before, During, After a ride

Nutrition tanks more rides than fitness ever does — and most cyclists are either underfueling, eating at the wrong times, or skipping recovery entirely. In this episode, Mukund breaks down exactly what to eat and when, from your pre-ride meal to the recovery window most riders blow right past. No supplements pitch.
Just practical, research-backed fueling you can apply this week.

Strength training for cyclists

Most cyclists skip the gym entirely — worried about bulk, confused about what to lift, or just unsure where to begin. In this episode, Mukund breaks down exactly why strength work matters for your riding, what your body actually needs (hint: it's not what you think), and the four foundational movements every cyclist should start with. No gym background required. Just a smarter way to ride faster, climb stronger, and stay injury-free.

PMW Fit gives you three workout builders: Strength Training, Cardio, and Target Muscle workouts. Design your sessions exactly how you want them, get guided timers and audio coaching, and train anywhere without an internet connection.
