Can you really maintain cycling performance while fasting during Ramadan?

In this episode of Cadence & Coffee, we break down the reality of training without food or water — and whether you can still build fitness, maintain FTP, and ride strong throughout the holy month.

We cover:

  • What happens to your body when you fast

  • How dehydration affects cycling performance

  • Should you reduce training volume?

  • Best times to ride during Ramadan

  • Suhoor & Iftar nutrition strategy for cyclists

  • Can you do VO2 max sessions while fasting?

  • The mental strength Ramadan builds

  • The power of community rides like Fasted 500

Ramadan isn’t just a spiritual reset — it can be a performance reset too.

Whether you're a social rider, competitive cyclist, or training for an event, this episode will help you approach Ramadan with intention, structure and clarity.

You might not hit peak watts this month…

But you might build your strongest mindset yet.
