Over 40? This Metric Might Matter More Than Your FTP

Hey


Over 40 and Still Want to Improve? Start Tracking This.


Most cyclists over 40 don’t have a training problem.


They have a recovery problem.


You can still push hard. You can still increase FTP. You can still climb better than you did five years ago.


But recovery doesn’t bounce back like it used to.


And that’s where heart rate variability (HRV) and sleep become powerful tools.


Not trends. Not gimmicks. Actual physiology.
