Am i too old to keep building?

@jessec

Today, my dad is in his 70’s, and I’m 45. I can finally beat him in a TT. But I’m honestly not sure how much of that is him slowing down and how much is me speeding up. I hit a peak of 4+ watts per kg this year, and am turning out faster bike splits than I was 15 years ago. I plan on peaking (relatively) in about 15-20 years (watch out Kona circa 2040!)

So keep going. Cycling power doesn’t fade much with age.

This is a fantastic story @jessec. Thank you for sharing! Your Dad sounds like an aerobic beast! Get him on the successful athletes podcast I say! What a legend. Proof that age doesn’t necessarily always = slow and decreasing performance.
