Category Upgrades & Should You Keep Racing as You Get Older?
In this episode of the Consummate Athlete Podcast, we tackle two important questions for masters cyclists about racing, category upgrades, and the evolution of athletic goals as we get older. Coach Peter Glassford and Author Molly Hurford dive into the nuances of choosing the right race category and balancing performance with life priorities. First, we answer a listener's dilemma: Should you race in a category where you can build confidence and work on race craft, or should you jump into a tougher and/or longer race category? We discuss how to weigh factors like race duration, speed, and even how family and race scheduling might influence your decision. Next, we explore the question of how to approach racing during life's transitions, especially as you get older. We discuss how several clients have balanced aging and racing. We also discuss how you can use 'events' and 'challenges' as well as a reduced race calendar to help keep cycling in your life the idea that you can certainly enter events with different goals and refine how many races you do in a season as well as what constitutes an event (e.g. bike packing or tours).
