I retired from pro cycling ten years ago, but I still share my exploits and train as much as I can. The questions I get most often are "how much fitness have you lost since the pro days?" And "Are you going back to reclaim the KOM that you first got 8 years ago?"
I came from a world where you train at home, but your race schedule is the real training, so have been pleasantly surprised at the numbers I'm still able to do, with zero race miles in my legs, just doing group rides and workouts on my own, prescribed by my coach since 2014, Frank Overton of Fascat Coaching.
Frank comes on to give an honest assessment of where my numbers have landed 10 years after retirement, and our approach moving forward, as my goals are still cycling performance, but it's now wrapped in more general health, as we think about how I might be able to perform at 50, or 80.
