How to Effectively Modify Your Training and Racing as You Age, with Rebecca Rusch
Age is just a number. Few athletes know that better than Rebecca Rusch, who joins us to discuss how to adapt and perform at the highest levels of sport as you age.
Jessi Stensland: “Kinterractive” Evolution of the Athlete
Evolution as an athlete is something that will come if you stay active for long enough. Navigating those changes can be a challenge, but athletes like Jessi Stensland seem only to improve with their years.
Breakdown: How Athletes Slow Down with Age

The Secrets to Staying Strong as You Age, with Ned Overend
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.
