I’m 67 and using TR for the third year and more dedicated than ever to see how much improvement I can make. I haven’t raced as such, other than doing the Senior Olympics. I compete against myself and can keep up with lots of guys 20-30 years younger, except on hills >5%, where the aging heart hits i…

I’m trying to think … considering our age, maybe the ideal plan for us would be whatever direction we want to take in our choices of build. But in sweet spot, build etc that we simply keep to low volume and fill out our days with strength training. Men really loose it from the waist up when we get o…

[image] daryllewis: Is there any data for which one works the best? What does coach Chad’s research show to be the best? Or are they just two different paths to the same place? That’s the big caveat to all of this. We’ve got a strong idea that both paths are good, but we don’t know for sure…

[image] Hampstenfan: Well, great question. I would turn it around to the TR gurus and ask “based on the data/research/scientific evidence, what are the emerging best practices for aging athletes?” And “is there enough data to stratify within the populations or identify inflection points that wou…

This may not help with any final decision, but I originally preferred the extra recovery week option and was happy to see both options implemented. However, having a little time to think about it the recovery week option is an easier option to implement with the calendar and this may have skewed my …

[image] Nate_Pearson: We agree :100:. I believe TR will be the study/data source for this moving forward. Yay! I’ve wondered for a long time if TR isn’t sitting on an absolute treasure trove of data – one that researchers in white coats would drool to have – that could answer some of the que…

[image] oldcrank: far as I know age has never been a part of anyone’s TR profile Age is asked during onboarding.

Yikes, one more thing I seem to have forgotten, as well as where I put my glasses . I did go recheck my profile page before posting though, and didn’t see age there as part of it. And I also forgot the Bell curve thread, and that the one Nate posted had age categories. I wish I had recalled it be…

Hi Nate, A geezer plan, eh, interesting. Some of my thoughts, which others have mentioned, are: it would be nice to have the option to customize the work/rest ratio in plan builder rather then always going with 3:1 or 5:1 ( and also to choose different ratios for different plans). I can add in a…

[image] bhammond58: a few have mentioned a 9 day week, that is a great option. It would be nice if this could be varied in plan builder - in other words I might select a 7 day week for Base but a 9 day week for Build @Nate_Pearson thanks for responding! I agree with @bhammond58 on the abilit…

In the The Bell curve of cylists - how fast are the average TR users? post there are graphs by age group so TR must already have a way to know our age.
