Show Notes

Today we will hear from Sarah Fader, owner and coach at Speed Logic, which provides provides Olympic Caliber Cycling coaching, specializing in Speed, Power, and Strength. 

A few of the topics discussed:

Sarah has been an Olympic Development Program Coach for USA Cycling, she Managed and Directed a UCI professional Women’s team, and she was a Professional Cyclist for 11 years. 

Her accomplishments as an athlete and as a coach are certainly impressive, but what brings her to Wise Athletes is her work with Masters Athletes.  Sarah somehow squeezes in a lucky few older athletes into her practice.  I personally know two of her masters athletes who rave about the results they’ve had.

We asked Sarah to join us on Wise Athletes to share her wisdom about cycling training for the masters athletes, and in particular her thoughts about FTP as a singular metric and guide to training.  Sarah is not a fan of FTP, and she explains her thinking about what she doesn’t like about FTP as a basis for training programming.

Sarah has a mature perspective on the masters athlete, and she knows how to help the masters athlete reach their goals while staying motivated and healthy.  She says data is important but it isn’t enough.  Listen in as we hear Sarah’s background and benefit from her experience and wisdom.
