How to cook poached eggs — in style!

by Mark Ferguson on August 29, 2009

Train­ing for those loooong base miles requires some good qual­ity eatin’. I searched — forever — to find a decent tutorial on how to cook poached eggs. There wasn’t one — so I cre­ated this one myself. Enjoy.

I know from recent exper­i­ence, what it’s like to ‘bonk’ or ‘hit the wall’ — just a few minutes from home after a long ride.

This term refers to gly­co­gen deple­tion in the muscles dur­ing exer­cise. It’s caused by not eat­ing adequately, before or dur­ing phys­ical activ­ity and leaves you feel­ing vir­tu­ally unable to push on the pedals.

Bonk­ing is to be avoided at all costs! Apart from ruin­ing your day, you’ll struggle to have a qual­ity train­ing ride for days after. It’s a ter­rible feel­ing — and I don’t want you to go through it like I have so many times.

    Great avo­cado tip. Learned some­thing new there. I always took the pit out and cut it up the hard way. Thanks!

    Good stuff Fer­gie ! Another tip is to stir the water before you put the eggs in. It helps keep the eggs nice and neatly round and pre­vents any stick­ing to the bottom…
