Days go so much better when they begin with a little exercise. It gets those happy endorphins flowing, boosts your metabolism, and leads to a better night’s sleep. And fasted rides are even better, helping you burn fat for fuel.
After missing some morning rides this week and paying for it later in the day I decided to challenge myself to simply ride every morning. No excuses!
Then I realized it would be a fun community challenge… so here we are.
Next week Zwift Insider is holding our first (and probably only) “Early Ride Challenge”.
The 7 Rules
- Challenge begins Monday, December 17 and ends Sunday, December 23
- Each day’s ride must begin between 3AM-6AM your local time
- Total morning ride time each day must be 45 minutes+
- Rides must be fasted: only water and coffee allowed!
- You must post a Strava (or equivalent) link to each ride as a comment on this post. Feel free to comment on how your ride went as well. Each comment must be posted within 24 hours of your ride.
- Everyone who completes the challenge (that is, shares 7 daily rides meeting the criteria above) gets entered into a drawing for… wait for it… a Zwift water bottle!
- Rides can be indoor or outdoor
The real prize, of course, is developing habits that bring better health and a sense of well-being. Let’s ride!
