You can absolutely still get faster after 40. And 50. And yes, after 60 too.

But here's the catch every masters cyclist eventually learns: you can't train the way you did in your 30s and expect it to work. Recovery slows down. Father time comes for your watts. And between work, family, and everything else, you don't have all day to ride.

None of that means you're done improving. It just means the approach has to change: train less, recover more, age-adjust your intervals, and let the data tell you when to push.

Coach Frank Overton breaks down the full FasCat masters playbook, 20+ years of coaching masters athletes to national titles and hard-earned PRs, including the 5 rules Bicycling Magazine featured and the recovery trifecta that beats any gadget.

Join us live this Friday at 2pm EST for Ask A Fascat episode 31. This week we’re breaking down your summer training plan: durability rides, heat adaptation, race-week tapers, and more. Bring your training questions and we’ll answer them live on the show. We’ll probably talk about the Tour de France, too!

Your FTP, the number behind every training zone and workout, usually means scheduling a painful 20-minute test. CoachCat skips that. It reads your hard efforts, races, and group rides automatically, finds your FTP, and updates every zone in your plan. No test day, no math, no guessing.
