Maintaining strong training on the bike while aging isn’t as difficult as it may seem, as guest MTB champion Ned Overend illustrates.
We will delineate what age effects truly exist — for example, a drop in maximum heart rate — and others that have been traditionally attributed to aging that now appear to be trainable, such as a loss in fast-twitch muscle fiber strength.

There are many different physiological causes of fatigue, but how much of fatigue is really in our minds?

We explore the physiological effects of training in the cold, from muscle damage to the increased caloric demands and how to stay warm.

We tackle the always-popular topic of climbing with Sepp Kuss, Dr. Inigo San Millan, Joe Dombrowski, and Ned Overend.

We take on a controversial subject: FTP or functional threshold power. Is FTP dead?

Cyclists can get a little lost in the weight room. Strength expert Jess Elliott helps us understand the fundamentals of strength workouts and how cyclists will benefit from time spent in the gym.

Ouch, it burns! But what causes that burning sensation in our muscles when we work out? Dr. Inigo San Millan and Caley Fretz reveal new science on lactic acid and “the burn”.

VeloNews contributors Caley Fretz, Trevor Connor, Dan Cavallari, and Kristen Legan go down the rabbit hole to predict the future of bikes and bike tech. Were they right?

We sit down with Dr. Andy Pruitt to discuss the physiological and psychological needs of athletes, and how an off-season is crucial to meeting those needs.

We are joined by pro cyclist Sepp Kuss and the founder of FasCat coaching, Frank Overton, to dig into dealing with contradictory advice.

Why do athletes cramp? New science suggests that it isn’t about electrolyte imbalances or dehydration as we’ve been told for decades. We explore.

The science behind fast tires has evolved rapidly in recent years, so Trevor Connor and Caley Fretz called in tech writer Kristen Legan to dig into the latest research.

Is it possible to stay fit and fast all year round? We talk to former pro and team director Mike Creed about the toll that cycling takes on a body.

We speak with Dr. John Hawley, one of the leading experts in sports nutrition, about this cutting-edge trend.

We are joined by pro rider Toms Skujins to discuss the intricacies of racing strategy in the Tour.

Physiologist Rob Pickels joins our hosts to talk about how heat affects athletic performance and the different strategies you can implement to manage it.

We discuss the ins and outs of sprint technique and training, and are joined by two-time national criterium champion Eric Young for some pro tips.

We talk to Dirk Friel of TrainingPeaks to explain how cyclists can use data to make their workouts more effective and productive.
