Phil Cavell: Midlife cycling, fizzing with energy

Older cyclists often try to push the boundaries of athletic prowess as they pursue their life-long, or new-found passion. But is it wise to continue running the engine indefinitely?  Phil Cavell is the author of The Midlife Cyclist and the co-founder of Cyclefit, a UK-based company dedicated to cycling analysis and biomechanics. In this LLAMA podcast interview the veteran club cyclist discuses the art and the science of riding.  He shares a barefoot cyclist's enthusiasm for the sport and explains why attitude, diet, sleep, alcohol consumption - or lack of it - all matter, in the quest to be a successful midlife rider.  He also discusses aging wisdom and the rules of the road that apply to anyone bent on mastering the aging process.Recorded: October 13, 2021 | Transcribed using Sonix at the LLAMA podcast website.The Live Long and Master Aging podcast, a HealthSpan Media LLC production, shares ideas but does not offer medical advice.  If you have health concerns of any kind, or you are considering adopting a new diet or exercise regime, you should consult your doctor.PartiQlar supplementsEnhance your wellness journey with PartiQlar supplements.
