Excellent mini series on strength Maddy and Tom. Please don't leave the viewers in suspense any longer. Once Tom's 'Tower of Toast' appeared on screen. I for one shouted out 'what is it? I want it'. I feel the creation of this breakfast deserves a video short of its own👩🍳
Tom pretty much describing my journey into strength training as a 65 year old. My own research basically said that at 65 my muscles would naturally be wasting so I needed to strength train as well as bike BUT I would need to fuel with a lot more protein in my diet as well. Ive added strength to my yoga and core session - and a lot of fat free nigh protein yoghurt and the cheapest most sugar free. protein bars I could find and the difference has been massive.
Thanks Maddy and Tom, this was very insightful! I also really like the relaxed format. Although I did feel a bit sorry for Tom as he hardly had time to devour that breakfast 😂.
How do you measure progress? I'm guessing there are some objective measures like how much you can lift and how often, biometrics like heart rate and respiration, that sort of thing - but what are the on-bike indicators that you are improving?
Is it ok to do a strength workout immediately after a bike workout if that is all your time per week will allow? I understand it is not optimal, but doing something is always better than doing nothing, right?
You kind of answered your own question there, but yeah as you say - It's better than doing nothing, but sure not optimal. You may want to have a play around with the order of them if they are directly back to back - As for me, and most, if you were to do strength directly after a bike session the strength training would be compromised. Yet doing them the other way round (strength first) would not compromise the bike session, and instead would potentially help you by "priming" or "potentiating" you a little.
@@theedgecoaching1949 Thanks for the reply. A few years ago, you replied to me in the comments of one of your own videos and said that you like to follow this daily schedule for your cycling/lifting: strength on day 1, next day intervals, next day zone 2, next day strength, next intervals again, and final day zone 2, followed by a day off. Or something like that. Do you still advise a schedule like that?
