I'm old AND overweight. It takes me 2 days to recover from any bike rides out of my comfort zone. I'm feeling good though. 6.months ago it used to take me 3 !!
My old kickboxing coach once told me “no one ever got stronger during a workout, they get stronger while resting between sessions.” Granted, this was in the 70s, so…
I've also found that muscular recovery takes a wee bit longer for us older gents. And currently I've got the intensity out of my weeks until the lungs clear up. I can't wait until the lungs clear up to start pushing up the health again. Low intensity workouts aren't too difficult, considering RPE as my metric. I'm glad to see these short videos come back. Off-topic: Is there a difference between Scottish and Gaelic? I caught a documentary last evening on the telly talking about Scotland and they were talking about Gaelic.
Yes Terry. Gaelic is ancient Scottish language. It’s my fathers first language. It’s still spoken on the islands a lot. Scottish is just often local dialogue where English and Gaelic words join into a form that only wee understand 😂😂😂
@@BulletproofCycling Coach, as you live, I believe, just a few miles from the birthplace and early stamping ground of the greatest poet in the English (or should that be Scots?) language, you could've told Terry to get a book of his verse.
When I'm training consistently my Fitbit readiness score rarely gets above 40%. I would say this definitely leads to over training and burnout. That being said I never follow a program. I just get at it and hope for the best since I'm a mediocre recreational rider.
Interesting video thanks! could you give some concrete examples and advice about active recovery. Eg should a rest day consist of minimal exercise or should you still do something which uses different muscles like swim or walk. I stretch every day and I’m not sure if that’s scuppering rest days.
Impacting on your heart rate and loading of your muscles that delays the transition out of catabolic state. Your stretches won’t do this. Check out my latest live session 👍
Great videos coach I’m 51 just started to do cycling for a bit of fitness what’s a indoor training program you recommend I’ve got a bike on a indoor trainer , I’ve got a road bike for outdoors but I’m only using the trainer when the weather is crap
Great video coach, I've always believed you perform on what you eat the day before, basically if you eat cr4p Monday, Tuesday's workout will be cr4p and remember the 6 P's PERFECT PREPARATION PREVENTS P1SS POOR PERFORMANCE, I also keep in my tidy mind when I'm getting tired losers look down winnings look ahead.
Hello, i got a question about hearth rate. Im racing XCM and XCO and my hearth rate during races doesn’t drop lower than 95% from my max hr. What can you say about this? I see other guys data, and they always in treshold zone while im on my red zone for 90 - 95% of race time.

Thank you. Yep got my channel back. Stressful week but all good now
Nice sorry if I interrupted you with the random call, it was a bit impulsive 😂❤
I did drop a bollock today, did an FTP, then did a small recovery ride, discovered I did this ride in zone 4.
BRILIANT!
Thank you 🙏

Sounds like you have a good grip of things

One thing that will help no matter how your training is, if you’re replenishing your redox signaling molecules.😊
👍👍👍👍
HAHAHAHA! ALWAYS LOVE YOU!
SUPERB AURA OVER YOU! MAESTRO!
Wow, thanks
It's always a 2 day ride and a 1 day rest for me...
Works a treat 👍👍👍
Always 3 days for 1hr30mins to 2hrs - Zone2
2.days recovery 30 mins or w/ gym session.
1 day gym session no cardio workout.
Sunday long ride 😁😆
