This is the #1 tactic for riders who want to do this for a lifetime – get and stay strong and you’ll avoid age-related physical decline for as long as possible.
Plus, improving your strength, power and muscle mass can help improve performance and reduce your risk of injury, so it helps now and acts as insurance against future losses. And while a lot of things can help, if you want to maximize your results there are some basic principles that the 40+ year old rider should be observing.
First, almost anything can “work” but it eventually stops working and it may not build the strength and fitness you need for riding. The goal is to follow a training program that will help us on the path towards riding for a lifetime: improving our MTB specific fitness and our overall longevity/ health.
WIth that in mind, here are some basic guidelines to help you with designing or choosing a training program.
