FAQ

Do masters cyclists need a different coaching approach?

Yes. Recovery capacity declines after 40. Muscle mass drops ~8% per decade without resistance training. A masters coach adjusts training density, adds mandatory strength work, and manages nutrition for body composition.

Is strength training essential for cyclists over 40?

Non-negotiable. Targeted, loaded resistance training 2x/week through cycling-specific patterns (split squats, hip hinges, single-leg deadlifts, hip thrusts, presses, core) preserves muscle mass, maintains bone density, and counteracts age-related power decline that aerobic training alone cannot prevent.

NOT SURE WHICH TO CHOOSE?

A coach removes the guesswork.
