Why long rides aren’t the answer after 40

Oct 27, 2025 8:31 am

Hey


If you’re over 40, juggling work, family, and trying to fit cycling in, this one will hit home.


For years, I thought five hour weekend rides were the key to getting fitter.


But all they did was leave me tired, sore, and no stronger by Monday.


It wasn’t until I started focusing on shorter, smarter sessions during the week that things really changed.


I shared the full story (and how I fixed it) in my latest LinkedIn post — you can read it here:

If you’ve ever wondered why the long rides aren’t paying off, this might be the shift you need.


Speak soon,


Neil
