If you're over 40, 50, or even 60, you can still train like the pros with the same intervals, the same intensities, the same power zones. But here's the secret: you can't handle the same volume or recover as quickly as younger riders.

In this video, Coach Frank from FasCat Coaching breaks down how to adjust your interval training based on your age, recovery, and goals using real data from coaching both pros and masters athletes for over 20 years.

What You'll Learn in This Video:

βœ… The best VOβ‚‚ max intervals for masters cyclists

βœ… How to modify anaerobic (Zone 6) intervals to match your recovery capacity

βœ… Why Sweet Spot training still works β€” but needs less volume as you age

βœ… How many hard interval sessions per week you should actually be doing

βœ… The science behind slower recovery after 40 β€” and what to do about it

Whether you're training for a Gran Fondo, crit, gravel race, or just chasing FTP gains, these strategies will help you train smarter, not harder β€” and get faster without burning out. πŸš€
