Over 40 and training more but getting slower? Here’s why 👇
Your metabolism has changed. Your recovery is slower. I see a number of cyclists make this mistake:
They try to train like they did in their 30s.
More volume
Same intensity
Same nutrition
The result?
Plateaus. Fatigue. Frustration.
Here’s what ACTUALLY works after 40:
âś… Smarter intensity - Less junk miles, more focused intervals that create adaptation without destroying recovery.
✅ Adequate recovery - Those “easy” days need to be ACTUALLY easy. Zone 2 or lower.
✅ Strategic nutrition - Your protein needs are higher. Carb timing matters more. You can’t out-train poor fuelling.
