From Matt Fitzgerald
(World Champion Andy Potts) says that he struggles to remain heavy enough during periods of peak training and takes aggressive measures–such as eating gourmet pretzels!–to keep from becoming too lean before it’s time to peak, or he gets run down. He has found that he is only able to productively hold his optimal racing weight for a short time, just as he is only able to hold peak race fitness for a short time. So he watches his weight carefully and does everything he can to keep it at what he considers the optimal training level until it’s time to pull the trigger on a racing peak.
