Velo Performance Cycling Podcast
Hey there, welcome to the Velo Performance cycling podcast aimed at master cyclists. As an experienced cycling coach in my 50s, I understand the unique challenges faced by master cyclists. Certainly from my own experience, I'm pushing back on age, I lift heavy, regularly include hard efforts on the bike and eat well.
One of my biggest ambitions with this podcast is to empower cyclists and people in their 40s, 50s and 60s to challenge the conventional wisdom that age limits our potential. My interviews with nutritionists, fitness professionals, and seasoned master cyclists who are still killing. Together we will uncover what is possible for all of us when we unlock the evidence, educate and inspire you to continue riding your bikes hard and fast, increase your health span, and live fuller, longer, and more active lives as you age.
So, if you're NOT interested in defying the odds and living your best life, this isn't for you. If however, you are interested in stepping up to push your boundaries then Join me on this journey to challenge the status quo and learn how to stay fit, healthy, fast on your bike and strong well into your 40s, 50s and 60s.

Why strength training will make you a faster cyclist as you age and live longer
In this month's podcast, I speak to Chris Gibson (BSC CSCS EXOS) to talk about why strength training is critical for performance and ageing well.
We cover what you should be doing in the gym, what are the best reps, sets and what forms of strength training are pointless and why.
If you find this podcast helpful please leave a review and share it with your friends.
Thank you. Simon
PS: Right at the end Chris lets us into a very funny story about a concept 2 rower and climbing mountains with it on his back.
