Train Your Age - With Dr David Hulse

Dr David Hulse is a World Tour Doctor and longtime Cyclefit friend and collaborator. Dave is also a Midlife Cyclist himself and seeks to prolong or even extend his own performance envelope as he ages. As well as his professional cohort (Team EF Pro), Dave also sees many older athletes in his private clinics at Pure Sports Medicine. It is fair to say that Dave is a specialist in endurance sport and cycling medicine. Who better to help us as we set sail into 2026.

  • Setting our goals for 2026
  • Setting realistic expectations
  • Creating the optimal training and performance paradigm
  • Avoiding injury and illness
  • Building resilience to training loads to make our exercise program sustainable.
  • Maximizing adaptation to training stimulus

This Video podcast was filmed 18th December at Cyclefit Store Street by our friend and Filmmaker - award-winning journalist - Simon Willis

"World-Tour riders are uniquely positioned to adhere to a supported and data-driven, Train-Eat-Recover, performance paradigm"

Pick Your Paradigm

  • Train, Re-fuel, Recover
  • Train, Eat, Sleep
  • Ride. Eat, Sleep

All the paradigms appear to be uncannily similar. The start of the conversation I had with David was all about pulling at the threads of how they are different. And it was all about context.
