Most cyclists think getting faster means riding more. But what if the real limiter isn’t your training — it's your strength, nutrition, and durability? 

In this episode, we sit down with a sports nutrition expert, Dr. Cindy Cassell to break down why power doesn’t equal strength, how metabolism and fueling impact performance, and why cyclists over 35 need to rethink how they train.

If you’ve been training harder but not getting faster, struggling with recovery, or feeling like your power doesn’t match your effort — this episode will show you what’s really going on.

What You’ll Learn:
• Why strength training is critical for cyclists
• How nutrition impacts cycling performance and recovery
• The truth about low energy availability in cyclists
• How to improve cycling durability and fatigue resistance
• Why VO2 max declines with age and how to slow it down
• How to build power that lasts deep into races and long rides
