One of the best things about cycling, is that you can do it in your older age, and keep improving. I remember when I was younger knocking out 20 min 10 mile TT's ... and getting trounced by people in their 60's and 70's in the longer (25 mile) time trials ...

This video is excellent and very motivating. Great mics with very low wind noise. I’m motivated to get out this morning and knock out 40 miles. Grace & Peace

Very good vid. Being in approximately the same vintage, I tend to agree with all that he is saying and I doubt have more to add. The on-set of ageing is physically deteriorating and that deterioration will advance all the more quicker without regular physical activity, proper diet, balanced rest and the pursuit to be better than you are

The trick is how to do hard efforts, when I was younger, everything was one big long effort. I didn’t feel how to do intervals or how to rest between them. But lately I have found how to apply rest between efforts and have easy days in order to have hard days. That Wisdom comes with age, at least for me. (Although it’s easier to do the intervals correctly indoors then outdoors, and I rather be outdoors except when it’s cold out.

I do find intervals easier indoors!

In general cycling is pro-aging unless you are just noodling around at slow easy pace. All that chronic cardio is low level stress.

I'm recovering from a broken wrist, I had 5 weeks off the bike after the surgery to put the plate in and my fitness plummeted. I went from being able to ride in zone 2 for 3 hours to doing the same pace for 30 minutes and the whole thing was at threshold. My 80km rides went to 15km rides for the first week back. Its been another 6 weeks but my fitness is mostly back where it was now, i just need to get my strength back up a bit more. I am 53 so it takes a while.

I think sometines we put a lable on everything we do like training and diet . When i go out surfing i am not training . I am surfing . The same when i mountain bike . Now i do have exceptions if i am entered in a a race event but even then its not heavily structured . I presume if your were a conpetive athlete when you were younger that routine carries into your senior years .

4:30 Does Eamonn's saddle look a bit too high? He is clearly a legend but his leg is almost straight at fullest extent and I've always thought it should have a pronounced bend at the knee?

I’m not an expert bike fitter but I think he’s probably got his position pretty dialled. At least it works for him!
