Transition for the Ages: Why Restoration Should Change as Cyclists Get Older (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The cycling season may be over, but that does not mean training should stop completely; especially as we get older. In this episode, Head Coaches Tim Cusick and Dr. Namrita Brooke explore how the transition period should evolve with age. They explain why younger cyclists may benefit from a longer break, while mature athletes often need a more deliberate shift toward recovery, strength, mobility, and aerobic maintenance. You’ll learn how to reduce fatigue without unnecessary detraining, which phy
Stop Chasing Recovery, Build a Bigger Adaptive Reserve (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Athletes are constantly told to recover better. Sleep more. Monitor HRV. Take more rest. Avoid carrying too much fatigue. But what if the real goal is not simply to recover from training? What if it is to build a body capable of absorbing more productive training? Join BaseCamp Head Coaches Tim Cusick and Dr. Namrita Brooke as they introduce the concept of adaptive reserve: the physical, nutritional, and psychological capacity you bring into training that determines how much stress you can toler
Race the Moment: The Art and Science of Dynamic Gravel Pacing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Gravel racing cannot be reduced to one power target or a perfectly paced plan. Success requires a dynamic, multifaceted approach, continually balancing effort, terrain, wind, group position, fueling, durability, and how your body is responding. In this episode, BaseCamp Head Coaches Tim Cusick and Dr. Namrita Brooke explore how to race the field without abandoning your plan. They explain when it makes sense to spend energy to stay with a group, when discipline matters more than tactics, and how
Rethinking Masters Training: Age, History, and Untapped Potential (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Training after 50 is often defined by the bell curve. We look at what normally happens to athletes as they age, identify the average decline, and begin building expectations around it. Lower aerobic capacity. Slower recovery. Reduced strength. Less performance. Those changes are real, but the average is a poor way to understand the individual athlete standing in front of us. Athletes over 50 may actually be harder to profile than younger athletes because aging magnifies their history. It reveals
Rethinking AI Coaching: Smarter Systems, Missing Context, and the Human Edge (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hosted by Dr. Namrita Brooke and Tim Cusick, this episode explores how artificial intelligence is changing endurance coaching. We look at what AI and AI coaching software already do well, including analyzing data, identifying patterns, evaluating training, and helping design or adjust plans. We also examine the limitations—especially what happens when information is incomplete, context is missing, or AI fills in the gaps with assumptions. Most importantly, we discuss why the future of coaching i
