You do not have to ride slower as you get older. Training as a masters cyclist is about being strategic and smart. In today’s podcast we are going to talk about the 4 ways to beat father time and ride faster into our 40's, 50’s and 60’s.

As we get older , testosterone and growth hormone levels naturally decline, making recovery harder and training loads tougher to handle. I’m briefly explain the science of aging for cyclists, and explain how Masters athletes should train differently to keep progressing.

Specifically, I'll describe 4 ways masters cyclists can train:

1. Masters Nutrition recommendations

2. Recovery recommendations

3. Smarter, more age appropriate intervals

4. Fives Ways your Training Plan should be masters specific -

To get the most out of yourself - do all 4 of these in tandem not just 1 or 2 or 3. You are leaving WATTS on the table by leaving out one any of these 4.
