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…

Thanks Ray. I’ve joined so do you still need my username? It looks as if the Team may allow some good interchange and discussion as we can watch each other’s training.

Happy to help. There sure is a ton of info in just about every angle of training and racing to be found here. Glad to hear that you are gaining knowledge and action items from all the great content here :smiley: Happy training.

I’d suggest trying the Kolie Moore Basic test which is in the O60 team workouts. It’s basically under then FTP and followed by a ramp to improve if you can. Not as fierce as a ramp test.

Joined both. My rule for allowing followers in Strava is to ignore someone who hasn’t done any recent workouts. Oh, in the Strava club, I’m the guy in Harju County. Like oldcrank, my TR account is private and you won’t find me in FB, etc.

Who's over 60 y/o and using TR?

Sadly, the Public / Private switch is all or nothing. This limitation has been mentioned in various threads, and there is a Feature Request for changing in the Teams side:
