In this video, the BigCat, Frank Overton, explains the science behind why masters cyclists get slower with age and, more importantly, how to fix it with a smarter, age-appropriate training plan.
We'll cover:
✅ The science behind slower recovery for masters cyclists
✅ Introduction to "tear & repair" and why it takes longer after 40
✅ How age related decline in hormones increases the time to recover
✅ Masters cyclists training strategies to boost power and speed
✅ Top tips for adjusting your training plan to fit YOUR physiology
Whether you're in your 40s, 50s, or 60s, you can still get faster: you just have to train smarter, not harder. The BigCat shares the exact adjustments he's made in his own training and the athletes he's coached, plus what's worked for thousands of athletes we've coached at FasCat Coaching.
