WHY GALPIN’S WORK MATTERS TO YOUR CYCLING

Dr Andy Galpin is Professor and Executive Director of the Human Performance Center at Parker University.

In his Roadman interview, Anthony Walsh asks whether a cyclist over 40 can improve strength after years away from the gym. Galpin discusses training goals, learning unfamiliar movements and the recovery demands of an existing riding programme.

Our companion article separates his explanation from Roadman’s practical interpretation. His appearance is an editorial contribution to the podcast, not an endorsement of Good Legs.
