The Power of Structured Training for Cyclists Over 40

Aug 16, 2024 8:05 am

Hey



I know some of you may be wondering if it's really possible to improve your cycling at your age. Let me assure you, that's absolutely not the case. Structured training can work wonders for riders of all ages, and I've got the stories to prove it.



Take one of my clients, for instance. Just five months ago, he was struggling to keep up on group rides, constantly getting dropped and feeling discouraged.


Sound familiar? In fact, after committing to a focused training regimen, he's now keeping pace with the fast group. It's been an incredible transformation.

So, what's the secret sauce? It's all about having a plan and sticking to it.


The key elements that can help you achieve similar results are:


  1. Consistency: The backbone of any successful training program.
  2. Progressive overload: Gradually increasing the challenge to keep improving.
  3. Active recovery: Because rest is just as important as the work.
  4. Proper fueling: Giving your body the energy it needs to perform.



Of course, the physical benefits are important, but the power of having a structured plan goes far beyond your performance on the bike. It's about setting goals, staying motivated, and achieving things you never thought possible. Isn't that what cycling is all about?


I've seen it time and time again with my clients. They start with a plan, stick to it, and before they know it, they're crushing personal records, keeping up with younger riders, and rediscovering their love for the sport.


And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the feeling of surpassing your own expectations.
