How Does Aging Affect Your Training?

[@gtn]

How has the passage of time affected your training? ⏱👵🏻

[@DP-sh3nk]

Yup! Started training at 48 almost 55 and have definitely seen a meaningful decrease in high-end work, and according to the watch VO2Max is down three or four percentage points And recovery definitely takes longer

[@ngdawgs1]

Injuries take longer to recover 🤕… and the old injuries from my younger years coming back to remind me we had some fun 🤣. All good tho.. continue to train and do the best that I can. Not gonna get any younger 😊

[@HS-fm9kv]

Haha! Yes- best friends with the physio.... As a 50 y/o- now training with the 75 y/o me in mind- as in ensuring good Vo2Max and Strength.

[@dresden_slowjog]

45 y.o.: Recovery from the same effort takes so much longer. Not one day like it used to but two to three days. Meaning I cannot do two hard sessions (Intervals AND Long run) a week like some training plans suggest. Made me think: Why not switch from a generic 7-day training plan to a 10 or 14 day cycle? Would be sensible for me but haven't done the switch yet. Avoid overuse injury like the plague. Listen to your body and rather skip a Session. Because more important ia to stay able to keep on training: Consistency is key. And sleep more.

[@neilreynolds432]

The biggest change is speed. 30's = 3 min km. 40's =4min km/ 50's = 5min km and 60's = 6min km. This is what I have found. Endurance remains the same, this maybe due to the slower speed. Weights never get lighter. The biggest change for me has been the improvement in the shoes. If I could go back 30 years in today's shoes it would be a game changer. I am now in my mid 60's

67 years old here, and still going strong. GTN has been a great source of information.

[@SBoots29]

I was overweight at 58. Got into fitness, Triathlon bit me a year later and here now at 65 I have qualified for the worlds in Spain for 2025 (age group). Dedication, and discipline with the training is the key. I battle with it everyday and yes it is hard. V02 max at 45 for both bike and running and hope to keep it there for awhile. It becomes a lifestyle that fights you everyday but it is worth it health wise. I retired because I needed more training. Those old guys are fast! Cheers

[@johnrwilker]

You are an inspiration for me. At 56, I lost 90lbs and started running and biking. At 57, I ran my first marathon and a 70.3. At 58, the rookie mistake I as making caught up to me and I was injured most of the year. I’m now 59 and taking things I bit more easy but I’m being more intentional. I’m hoping to keep this going so when I retire at 65, I’ll be ready to fight for an age group spot. Thanks

Being close to 64 myself, I found that consistency in your workouts, continue to do S&C and HIT and being smart in your races helps to still being able to hit some good goals. I can't run my 5 or 10K PB's anymore, but I did PB on the half (1.28) and full (3.04) this year

The truth is that if anyone watching GTN videos aged 40/50/60+ are part of a very special and tiny set of people who are focused on being fit and healthy into the next chapters of their lives. Being in one's 50s or 60s often brings opportunities - more time, less stress - which is great for us, and being able to spend time doing sports that we love is incredibly good for both our physical and mental health. I am a 'do more things that bring me joy' person, and as I turn 58 and recently retired, I have so many joyful things ahead of me, including training and races. Listening to my body is an essential part of that (I live with chronic illness). I hope to complete a trail ultra before I'm 60. I think this particular video consistently missed the mark in both content and tone. Having actual older athletes involved in this, ideally regular people discussing both the challenges and opportunities of getting older, would have been helpful.

[@alaskahudson]

@klewis2048, I fully agree with your post. Although I'm not retired, my job is flexible and I just turned 58. It's been 18 months since I started running. I have competed in a few trail races this summer and have a 50k race next Saturday. My goal is just to finish. I'm slow. But patient. Cheers to you! John

I think you will find the triathlon demographic rages higher as people adopt multisport as a a way to spread training stress across the whole body. the top of the curve is in the 40's.

[@jb86549]

Younger GTN guys anticipating this 😅- you need an oldie on your team! From experience (now surprised to find myself over 60) all this is kind of true, but it doesn’t feel that grim. My one tip would be to ditch the tech and focus on perceived effort - and enjoyment- rather than making impossible comparisons with your younger self. You miss one biggie: crashes. Coming off your bike is no fun at the best of times, but hitting the tarmac is even worse on older bones. So don’t take risks.

[@ACs946]

I went back to the gym for the first time 18 months ago at the age of 51 after 25 years of being too busy 'with life'. Started running in Nov and did a marathon in April. Every run since has been like a hangover without the joy of the night before. But it's a hellova ride fwiw Enjoy your bulletproof youth before your body rolls out a random joint or muscle ache of the week ;)

Jeepers, the way you are talking, I am about to keel over. I am 59, with a VO2Max of 48 according to my wearable, and resting heart rate of about 47. Still feeling like I am in my early twenties. Didn’t realise I should start measuring for my coffin. 😮

[@jimmyscutts8082]

Aiming for a 2:30 time for 800 m at age 62 is my goal for the next year. Have it to 2:36 now and this video is a good reminder of the cautions one must take along any PB journey over 40. Listen to those niggles early, strength training once a week and 2 interval speed days but less reps, one easy long run and eat well.

[@kerrynball2734]

One good thing about starting from the older age already is that there are some newbie gains to encourage you for the first few years and your times will come down. If you get into the good habits during this then you're all set. Might be easier than for those who were once good to watch it all drift away.

[@mikebonsall2449]

Saying you won't build muscle after you've hit your 50s is simply not true. I realised I needed to focus more on strength training so 3 months ago I joined a gym and signed up to weekly sessions with a personal trainer. Not only can I tell that I am getting stronger but I am also starting to see the changes to my body. I'm 57.

[@stephena1639]

Totally agree, i am 62 and would say i have more upper body muscle than when i was in my 20s, it does help that my three sons are always in the gym and give me the correct workouts. I consume more protein now than i ever did and being consistent.

[@larryprimmerjr8099]

For me personally, recovery is the biggest issue at 58. Being patient and not getting caught up in frustration or pride because I want to go harder is the next hardest, though that is mostly mental than physical of course.

[@wemakerobotsai]

Im 53 and run a sub 3 marathon. 17:24 5km. My PB’s came at 50. The best thing I ever did was cut out high carb drinks and gels. Despite what the self proclaimed influencers tell you the rule of 1g carb per kg body weight per hour is nothing more than metabolic self harm.

I am 50 years young and my body does not feel, as far as I can remember, any different from when I was 25. I do not need more time for recovery after an intense session. I do not smoke and hardly ever drink, I eat healthy, sleep enough. My body is still constantly improving. Slow but steady. Garmin measures my VO2 max at 65 and my lactate threshold is still on the rise, currently 3:46 at HR 164. My 5k PB is 17:48 and I'm aiming for a sub 17. I guess we are all different but I do not place any boundaries on myself whatsoever. My advice is don't feel old.

Those are incredible stats - congratulations! While I was never at your level (20;15 was my best 5k time at 53), be prepared to start slowing down, especially in your late 50's. Unfortunatley, time gets everyone on the end!

[@kenwen]

Will have to respectfully disagree with the strength training protocols. As you get older, you'd benefit way more training like a bodybuilder. Fairly heavy, high reps, slow eccentric - especially if you've never followed a programme like this before, you will put on muscle. Remember to add some explosive lifting as you want to maintain your fast twitch fibres, and they tend to be bigger as well. I've always thought that when you're young and sweating testosterone - train for strength, low reps, heavy weights, and as you age flip it round to bodybuild. High reps, lighter (but still fairly heavy) weights to maintain mass

[@3Unique]

@kenwen. I am not saying you are wrong (I have no idea) but can you point to science for this or explain why? Is there not a higher risk of injury especially if you have never lifted before and you do this unsupervised? Thank you.

[@kenwen]

@@3Unique I'd recommend getting a coach or PT if you've never lifted before and they should always start you off slowly. With regards to why, you can still add muscle mass as you age, it just slows down. And bodybuilding is probably the most efficient way of doing it - after all, it's a sport dedicated to building muscle. There are also other benefits such as strengthening bones and joints, and developing balance. So well worth putting some time in, especially the older you get It is hard to balance training though. I came to swimming in my late forties, having never even dipped a toe into a pool but I've lifted throughout the years. Let me tell you, when you're told to do a kick set the day after heavy squats, you start thinking about taking up knitting

[@3Unique]

@@kenwen ok thank you.

[@jamesmartinwyatt]

I came to the comments for the "nothing has changed for me, I'm X years old and still have a VO2 max of a Y heroes" and I'm not disappointed so far 🙂Some interesting points in the video - I only came to running (then tris) in my mid 40's and already found the volume of running people suggested for marathon training too high for me to do without injury. Fewer runs, but making sure I do some speed intervals and tempo runs consistently, works best for me, and that fits the advice here. The point about recovery from downtime is true as well - last winter I got Pneumonia a few months before my 50th, then another chest infection a couple of months after. Two big blocks of no proper exercise at all have really left me struggling for pace all year even 5 years ago it would have come back sooner. All the Strava graphs of everything trending downwards don't help. Personally I want to acheive a consistency of training for years/decades that's sustainable, and not overdo it then be injured for a time. As such the point about racing is good also - we need to learn to race and enjoy it, not expect to set a PB every time, obsessing about the numbers is not great.

Quality video. It’s a tough process to go through when your brain feels the same as your 20 year old self. BUT, much better to be a bit slower and injury free. It’s just as enjoyable pinning on a number and being amongst like minded people on race day than killing yourself to gain a few places. Just be grateful your old body got you to the start line 😊

[@3Unique]

I started running about 20+ years ago (I'm 63 now) and I would say 90% of that has been zone 2 (before I knew what zone 2 was!). I have recently completed my first trail race 38km 2,700m of ascent at altitude (1,200m to about 2,600m). It took me 8 hours but my moving time was 6 hours because of the queue up the mountain at the start! I think if you are focused enough and have the desire then almost anything is possible. With two caveats: your joints and knees (and your heart as the video says) are in good nick and that it is generally agreed, from what I have read, that ultras are not really good for longevity. I feel no ill effects (recovery was, ice bath, veggie burger and chips (I am plant based), two gin and tonics and a massage all within 3 hours of the finish) two days with 500m swims and no running for the week after. My VO2 max is 46/47 I had it tested in June and am aiming for 50, which I think is achievable. If the above sounds like bragging my apologies, it is not meant to be, it just to encourage people to swim bike run or just one of them regardless of age. It is FUN.

[@DJE_Quads]

To be honest as someone who turned fifty in June this year, I found this video to be depressing. It’s all down hill from here…I have just come back to triathlon in the last couple years and have been really motivated, and although I find that GCNs videos are overall really great, I found this one very demotivating. It was clear that the script was not written by someone who has gone through a mid life crisis or maybe more accurately by someone who has been close to someone who’s life was cut short due to inactivity or other avoidable health issues. Maybe I am a bit too sensitive about the topic or maybe it is as the reality check I needed?

Great video, thank you very much. 68 yo here. Cant run (since mid 40s)as my body is a wrestlers build, 5'10 100kg.

[@georgesshed]

Some good advice in there, I've found that it takes a little longer for my breathing to settle into exercise but once it has I'm fine, CONSISTENCY is the best advice ever, lots of short exercise is better than trying to do a big run/cycle once a week or whatever. Getting old isn't as bad as you think, I did a solo LeJog when I was 65 and last year did the King Alfred's way solo and camping 😂, I still go to Bike park Wales, Swinley forest, Thetford and others, and remember when you retire you have more time to look after your body and get better rest.

Great video, it also highlights the many of us that are taking positive steps. So... Ive just clocked 70, gosh how did that happen 😮 In November 2022 i started to hike in the hills around where i live and this has progressed into trail running (more like shuffling) the main positives for me are: Balance improved, VO2max, lowered blood pressure generally fitter. Downside: as mentioned in the video, recovery takes for ever, I estimate 1 day for anything under 15km then add 1 day for every 10km. Elevation for every 100m of climb add 1km. On rest days I do easy walks with the dog. I realize that this is a triathlon channel, but....i dont get on with swimming and the hills around here, well I don't seem to be able to get up them without pushing. Its a great ride down 😂 Thanks all for your input.

Love this video - thanks for creating it GTN. I started Triathlon at age 49 and got steadily faster for 5 years, peakig with a 2:25 olympic time. Unfortunatley, despite still training hard, I'm now down to 2:35 at age 57 and getting slower each year. I'd highly recommend the book 'Fast After 50' by Joe Friel, for any endurance athlete of a certain age...

[@robertkenney4336]

I do agree with what you are saying here. I did my first Tri at 45. My Doctor told me to get of my fat behind and do some exercise. I started on an enticer and now moved onto a few Olympic distances. I was more into strength and speed sports then endurance sports when I was younger. Since I started I haven’t looked back. I feel like I am bucking the trends. My post race recovery is getting quicker. My last two races i went straight back to work next day. In saying that if I do one of my intense workouts it does take time to recover. And I do sometimes over do it. But my run is getting better. Even my swims have been improving this year. And every now and then i smash a personal record. And i am in the wrong side of my 50’s. Key points- Diet, I totally agree and consistency , I totally agree. Strength training, yes. I have added that in this year and if is helping my transitions. And when I do my yearly medicals. My doctor says I am in better condition then some people in their 20’s Good video guys.

I just turned 60 and start long distance running 3 1/2 years ago. I am pretty consistent except last year and I paid dearly for a botched marathon training but this year I went from 4:53 to 4:13. Funny thing is that I do recover from a race pretty quickly but the cumulative fatigue from the marathon training gets to me. My biggest failure is to get my strength training in as it impact my running. This year I will do my first 2 marathons in the same year and so I started to do the VO2Max training with indoor cycling class to avoid hamstrings issues.

[@daff1965]

Thank you for this, some great tips!

[@WendsH]

Just to add a bit of biological science into the mix, the 'slowing metabolism with age' is caused by the reduction in lean muscle mass that occurs due to age related muscular atrophy and joint wear that discourages continued strength training to maintain lean muscle mass. Your lean muscle consumes a considerable portion of your caloric intake, thereby resulting in a 'faster' metabolism. Loss of that muscle mass = less muscle available to consume calories for continued operation = 'slower' metabolism and easier weight gain. Overall, maintaining lean muscle mass will result in a far more stable and consistent metabolism. (Edited to add: also, lowering levels of testosterone (in both males and females, of course) contribute to less ability to build lean muscle mass or to maintain what's there, this lower hormone production being due to age! This also has the effect of 'slowing' your metabolism as you age.) The body is a marvelously complex and wonderful biological machine, isn't it? :)

[@Sutlore007]

I am fighting hard to get back to my best fitness level in my 40's after just stopped cycling for only 10days. It is very hard to get back, max effort is still similar but the recovery time for each round is much longer, my heart rate never goes down, compares to 17 days ago.

[@CoelhoSports]

"As you age you will" Olympians/elite athletes will do all those things as they age. The average joe at any age is a couch potato. Therefore at any age, unless you were maximally fit when young, can IMPROVE in all those areas listed as they age. 90% of the people watching this video CAN improve in all these areas listed as they age, and the only reason they DO get worse in the areas listed is because they have other priorities in life after being fitter when they were younger. There is a difference between what generally happens to top athletes as they age and what is possible for recreational athletes. Sometimes recreational athletes benefit later in life from having less mileage on their joints. If their kids are grown, career has plateaued, and they have more time and focus to dedicate on fitness that also helps. 99% of the people watching this have no idea what their peak physical potential was when they were 20. At least half of the people watching this video could be fitter in their 50's than they were at 20, even if they were decent recreational athletes at 20, obviously if they train harder later in life than they did when young. Remember, very few out there are competing for medals. The rest are just doing it for fun. Achieving 100% of potential was never the objective of any recreational athlete. That means they all lived more balanced lives than elite athletes and accepted the trade-offs. There are many people who had the potential to be very good athletes when young but life them took them in a different direction. If they get dedicated later in life in the masters divisions, watch out. They will be much better than the decent 20yo recreational athletes. You see those guys in practically every event.

I disagree on the ability to build muscle as you age. One can not only slow muscle loss but reverse it as well. I’m 71 and have been running since age 57. When I was 63 I had a hip replacement but was able to come back pretty quickly. At age 67 I had a second hip replacement and it took me a couple of years to come back. My surgery was delayed by almost a year due to the pandemic and I spent most of that time on the couch. I am now running about 30-35 miles a week and doing strength training every third day. Muscle definition and strength has consistently gotten better. I’m certainly no expert but I believe the science backs me up on this. Sure, I’m not what I was in my 30’s and 40’s, but I’m definitely well ahead of where I was just 3 years ago.

[@bikeanddogtripsvirtualcycling]

Im really confused now. I will be 51 soon and when I check my Garmin stats it gives me a vo2 of 60 to 61 (it fluctuates depending on my training) however when I look at historical data from a few years ago my vo2 was in the mid to high 40s. As for recovery - this happens really quickly for me on the bike. I race twice every Sunday, and then either Tuesday / Thursday or both. This week I also raced on Wednesday. I always give a full effort - create lots of breakaways and attacks and my HR and power zones always give a higher percentage from zones 4 and above. The problem I have is that my Garmin tells me that my "load is high". My stats right now show that my anaerobic efforts are almost 3 times higher than my low aerobic efforts whilst my high aerobic is around 7 times higher than my low aerobic. note that i use a HR chest strap. battery is valid and my last HR threshold test was maybe a month ago. My lifestyle is very relaxed though. I work from home and am sat for a lot of the time. I have no stress in my life. Most of my food is lots of spinach, broccoli, chicpeas, lentils, red pepper hummus and udon noodles. I drink a lot of chocolate (the 100% cacao powder) with soya milk and before my sunday morning race i stick a large 3L bowl full of oats, mixed berries, peanut butter, salt and sugar to taste and give it 5 mins in the microwave. I think that that I am just trying to prove to myself that age is not a factor and make work colleagues - who are mostly a good 15 to 20 years younger than me - understand that there is no excuse to not exercise. ok. I'll shut up now.

There are some mistakes in this video. High total cholesterol means nothing. It's the ratio between HDL and LDL that's important and even more important is the level of blood triglycerides. Secondly the low rep (1-5) high load strength exercises don't build muscles. They build max strength with relatively low muscle growth. Gymnasts train that way. For building muscle 4-6 sets of 8-12 reps of 60% of max load is proven to be the best strategy.

As one of the old folks, if you set the playback speed to 1.5x, you get less frustrated with the pace of these videos. In this case, I went 2x and still skipped forward 20 times. Everything in this video could have been covered in less than 2 minutes.

The question that one should be concerned w/ is: How does your training affect your aging?

[@mikeholmes3645]

What about over 70? Mike aged 72 3/4

Great video, being nearly 38 i enjoyed it. However, why's that human eating pizza with a knife and fork?

[@mister_ray]

No upside of getting older.

[@d-3five161]

Maybe physically but mentally, I'm wiser, at least I think so, lol!

It’s better than the alternative…

Hopefully your bank account doesn't confirm that theory

Carbon plated shoes give me sore knees, non carbon good to go next day.

run away from him 🏃

I get frustrated when I hear this type of talk. I'm 60 and PB with a sub 40min 10k. PB with a 3h05min marathon. I'm not sore the next day after my intervals or race. Might be stiff getting out the car on the same day of tje rave and that's it. Cut it out. Go until you drop.

How old are you?

[@mandagrath]

39. And you?

[@drummerman122]

So 40 is old. What a load of rubbish. Jimmy Anderson still opening the bowling for England.

How's cholesterol level in athletes? It's high, I am sure, so why even mention it?
