How Artificial Intelligence believes Older Athletes should train (and sleep, and eat, and... live)

I had a comment on one of the Strength videos recently which was along the lines of "no-one ever talks about the increased rest we need to keep training as we get older". It's a good point. I decided to ask an Artificial Intelligence to explain. I followed this up with a prompt asking how to continue training given the factors this raised. The reply is far from perfect and people might question individual elements, but it covers most. I might yet make a video based on these response but right now I feel it's more useful to see in its written form. Initially, I asked "Please explain why older athletes need more rest. Emphasis on physiological response to training stimulus and fatigue". Here's the reply. Older athletes require more rest and recovery time compared to their younger counterparts due to several key physiological factors that influence their response to training stimuli and fatigue accumulation. Here’s a breakdown of...

The Caledonia Way

The Caledonia Way is a somewhat unusual long distance cycling route. While it's mostly on minor roads, you can't ride the whole thing on a road bike. There are at least three sections where it heads into distinctly off-road territory. Not full mountain bike country, but rough enough to give anyone on a 23-25mm skinny tyre a hard time with skids and pinch flats. Touring 28mm and upwards would be fine. The other curious thing is that the National Cycling Network seems to dis-own a few sections. NCN78 signs are rare between Campbeltown and Oban, confined to the few off-road parts which aren't the Caledonian Canal towpath. If that wasn't confusing enough, at Fort William the Caledonia Way acquires a second name, and for part of this final section it's better known as the Great Glen Way. T he walker's Great Glen Way (which can be ridden on an MTB) splits off and takes a different, rough, high route as it approaches ...
