It's not really that hard to do intermittent fasting. You just eat dinner at 6-8 PM and then skip breakfast and eat lunch at noon.

And IMO the "risk" of bonking is hugely overblown, the worst case scenario is you're in a bike race and you have no energy. Most people are not racing bikes, so I don't see what the big deal is. You stop your workout and eat something. Most people's cardio workouts are not long and intense enough to bonk in the first place, even if they're fasted for 16 hours.



I've bonked riding bikes multiple times even when not fasting. I don't see it as a risk, you just limp home @ 20km/h. Sure it sucks :)
