Hi … I posted this as a comment/question for debate or maybe the podcast on the Facebook “Ask a ….” site and several good people suggested it worthwhile maybe posting it here as there tends to be a better interaction regarding such posts here (not that the comments weren´t useful or interesting ther…

We all know TR’s goal, make you a faster cyclist. In business there is a saying do one thing right and do it well. TR can’t cater to 900 different groups and price structures. I am not trying to be snarky. It is very difficult for a business to cater to everyone at some point the business loses …

A Masters focused podcast is a great idea.

[image] SDooley: TR can’t cater to 900 different groups and price structures. I agree with the price structure, disagree with the groups. You can have a plan builder that would address most of the groups. People need different things, and i think TR have enough wo on its system to address t…

Yeah pretty much. I certainly don´t have any problem doing the “hard” sessions (in fact I did a +1 Bluebell yesterday) and have just got home from a 110km flat-ish ride. So I don´t mind doing the work and in fact often enjoy the indoor sessions. But as I´ve gone on I´ve noticed a definite theme tha…

Masters plans are long overdue. [image] KorbenDallas: Great post. We have similar history and age. Generally I have found: Being lean (shift in lifestyle)… Long rides and in general more volume… Reducing the number of intense days per week… Have kept power metrics the same as 20 years ago. T…

Interesting. One tactic I do and have the chats helpful in the podcasts regarding the ramp test is to most definitely not be so obsessive in going all out to attain as high a number as possible… espresso, early night, absolutely burying myself etc. Yes, I know! …it´s ridiculous, but lets be honest w…

[image] SDooley: TR can’t cater to 900 different groups True, except that Masters athletes are a significant portion of TR’s current subscriber base and a growing portion of the cycling training market. Every single current subscriber will end up being a Masters athlete at some point. We’r…

That is an alternate to the “I ramp test too high… so I adjust my final FTP down…” topics we see frequently here. It’s all adjustments, that can and should be reviewed by each rider, each time they test (regardless of the test). It’s likely better to nail workouts with an FTP a touch low vs a touc…

Chad, As you are gearing up for Cape Epic, I think you’ll find it impossible to complete the same amount of work in training you did in your 30’s now that you are approaching 50. The hard training you have coming up will probably provide you some good insight for the Masters athletes who use Traine…
