The 30-30-30 Approach: Does It Actually Help Cyclists Lose Fat?

Feb 20, 2026 8:31 am

Hey


It’s not your age.


It’s your approach.


I hear it all the time:


“I’m just getting older.”

“These younger lads are too quick.”

“I don’t recover like I used to.”


But here’s the truth: most cyclists over 40 aren’t being held back by age.

They’re being held back by how they’re training.


Gone are the days when you can just ride more and magically get faster. That worked when you were 25 and had unlimited recovery. It doesn’t work now.


Let’s break down what’s really going on.

Have a great weekend
