Alberto Fossini on training, fatigue, and finding a better way

Performance in cycling isn’t just about how hard you train - it’s about how well you recover.

For Alberto Fossini, an endurance cyclist and product reviewer for Bici.pro, that realization came through both personal experience and professional curiosity. Tasked with testing Unbroken from the perspective of an amateur cyclist, he approached it with a simple question: can this actually improve recovery in a real training routine?

His full review, originally published on Bici.pro, can be read here.

“I reached a point where I was training hard, but I wasn’t improving. I was carrying fatigue from one session into the next.”

Like many dedicated cyclists, Alberto follows a structured routine - long rides, interval sessions, and disciplined nutrition. But despite the effort, recovery became the limiting factor.

When training is not the problem

Modern endurance training places constant stress on the body. Muscles break down, energy systems are taxed, and digestion is often under pressure—especially after intense sessions.

“After hard rides, eating wasn’t always easy. And even when I did everything right, recovery felt slow.”

Traditional protein sources can support recovery—but they require digestion, time, and energy before the body can actually be used effectively.

For athletes training frequently, that delay matters.

Testing a different approach

As part of his work with Bici.pro, Alberto tested Unbroken within his normal training schedule—not in a controlled lab setting, but in real-world conditions.

Built on highly hydrolyzed salmon protein, Unbroken delivers amino acids in free form, allowing for rapid absorption and immediate availability.

“It’s very different from a normal protein shake. It feels lighter, faster and you notice it.”

Instead of waiting for digestion, the body can begin repairing muscle tissue almost immediately after intake.

From fatigue to consistency

What stood out most during the review wasn’t just the immediate effect, but the cumulative impact over time.

“The biggest difference was consistency. I could train again sooner, and at a higher level.”

With faster access to essential amino acids, combined with Vitamin B12, Zinc, and Selenium, Unbroken supports:

• Muscle recovery 
• Energy and endurance
• Immune function
• Overall training resilience 

And because it requires minimal digestive effort, it integrates easily into demanding training blocks.

Real Time Recovery in practice

Using Unbroken across multiple sessions, Alberto focused on timing—taking it immediately after rides and during longer training days.

“It’s about giving your body what it needs, exactly when it needs it.”

This concept - Real Time Recovery - helps reduce the gap between effort and adaptation.

A review that became a routine

What started as a product test became part of his ongoing approach to training.

“You don’t just recover - you stay ready.”

Train. Recover. Ready for what’s next.
