Why Your FTP Is Stuck (And Why Your AI Training App Can’t Fix It) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Your FTP is stuck because you have been training at threshold instead of raising the ceiling above it. FTP is limited by your VO2max, the size of your aerobic base, and how well you fuel — not by how many threshold intervals you complete.

Hydration for Cycling: A Complete Guide for Riders (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Cyclists typically lose 1–1.5 liters of fluid per hour during intense riding, and losing just 2% of body weight in sweat can reduce performance by roughly 10%. The most reliable hydration strategy combines a personalized sweat-rate estimate with small, frequent fluid intake (150–200ml every 10–15 minutes) and adequate sodium replacement, especially on rides over 90 minutes.

Why Cyclists Over 50 Need More Recovery Not Less Training (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Cyclists over 50 don’t need less training — they need more deliberate recovery wrapped around the same hard work. Longitudinal research on masters endurance athletes shows that roughly half the variance in VO2max decline is explained by how much training people dropped, not by age itself.

What Is the Norwegian Method and How Will It Help My Training? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Norwegian Method is a training system built on two ideas: keep your easy days genuinely easy (below your first lactate threshold, or LT1) and keep your hard days controlled rather than maximal (at or just below your second lactate threshold, or LT2).
