Aging: Muscle, Strength and Performance
What we thought we knew about “normal” aging isn’t really normal for humans at all. Master and senior athletes provide proof of that every time there’s a race. Many older athletes continue to perform … [Read more...] about Aging: Muscle, Strength and Performance

Aging: What’s Happening to My Muscles?

Aging: More on Science
The traditional advice from the medical community is that older people (usually meaning age 50 and up) should avoid strenuous exercise. Instead, once we reach that doddering age, we should walk – not … [Read more...] about Aging: More on Science
Aging: High-Intensity Training
In my previous posts I’ve been making the point that the physical aspects of performance that science tells us are most likely to need our attention as we age are aerobic capacity (VO2max), muscle … [Read more...] about Aging: High-Intensity Training
The Weightlifting PMC, Part 1

Aging: An Excuse?
Science measures aging in many ways. Take telomeres, for example. Those are the caps on the ends of your DNA strands. Scientists use them as markers of cell age since the longer they are, the younger … [Read more...] about Aging: An Excuse?
Intervals, Part 4
I’ve beat around the intervals bush long enough. Let’s get to what I’m sure you’re most interested in: types of intervals and how to best incorporate them into your training. This is a rather massive … [Read more...] about Intervals, Part 4
Aging: My Race Weight
I’ve always considered my racing weight to be 154 pounds (70kg). Why? That’s what I weighed when I was 18 years old. Over the years my out-of-season weight has gradually climbed. In my 30s and 40s I … [Read more...] about Aging: My Race Weight
Keep It Simple – Bike Skills

What It Takes to be Fast After 50
By now you may be aware of my latest book—Fast After 50—being in print. In February it will also be ready to go as an ebook. This project started out as a birthday present to myself. I was approaching … [Read more...] about What It Takes to be Fast After 50
Head Up vs. Head Down
I few years ago I heard John Cobb say that when he tested aero helmets in the wind tunnel it didn’t matter if the rider’s head was up or down. That always struck me as strange. When looking down the … [Read more...] about Head Up vs. Head Down
