5 Training Rules for Masters Cyclists (What Bicycling Magazine Left Out)

Are you a master's cyclist trying to get faster but feel like something is missing from mainstream advice? Train this way FREE for 1 Month https://fascatcoaching.com/app

In this video, Coach Frank breaks down the 5 most important training rules for cyclists over 40, 50, and 60+ , and more importantly, what Bicycling Magazine didn't have space to tell you.

Frank was recently featured in their article on coaching older cyclists, and while they nailed the headlines, there's a lot more nuance that can make or break your performance. Today, Coach Frank is giving you the full coaching perspective.

🚴‍♂️ What You'll Learn:

- Why more miles ≠ more fitness (and how to balance training with recovery)

- The truth about high-intensity (Zone 6) work for older athletes

- How to strength train the right way (without sabotaging your riding)

- Why you don't need a race to train with purpose

- The #1 mistake masters cyclists make: taking extended breaks

⚠️ Stick Around for Rule #5

If you take winters off, skip riding on vacation, or think breaks help you reset… this could be holding you back more than you realize.
