Recently I had a conversation with someone who asked a question I think a lot of cyclists are quietly asking themselves:"How do I know if I’m actually eating well?"Not what’s the best diet.Not whether low carb beats fasting.Not whether they should cu...
I had a comment on one of my posts this week that got me thinking.Someone asked:“What’s harder, a 30-minute ride in Zone 4 or a 7-hour ride in Zone 2?”And naturally, most cyclists would probably say the Zone 4 ride.Because Zone 4 feels hard.Your brea...
This weekend, me and my partner sat down to chill out and watch a movie.Most weekends, we try to make time for something that brings a bit of comedy, laughter, and a smile to our day.This time, we watched a documentary about Martin Short on Netflix.Y...
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned as I’ve got older is that training harder isn’t always the answer.In fact, for most cyclists over 40, it’s usually the thing keeping them stuck.I realised this myself when I started noticing I couldn’t ride har...

Most cyclists I speak to are stuck in the same loop…They want to lose weight, ride stronger, and improve their watts per kilo, but the moment they try to diet, their performance drops off a cliff.I’ve seen this over and over again coaching cyclists o...
Most cyclists over 50 assume their best riding days are behind them.I hear it all the time:“Am I too old to improve my FTP?”And honestly, I get why people think that. Recovery isn’t as quick as it used to be. Life is busier. You’ve got work, family,...
This weekend something interesting happened.One of my lead magnets, my 2-day weight training plan for cyclists, got a surge of downloads.Way more than I expected.Now normally, that’s a good problem to have…But there was one issue.Because of the volum...
I’d been looking forward to this trip for a while.After going back to Mallorca last year for the first time in four years, I couldn’t wait to get back again. The roads, the climbs, the atmosphere… it’s hard to beat.Leading into it, things were going...
