Well those of us that have been doing endurance athletics (running and cycling etc) for many yeras wish we had some fast twitch fiber left in our bodies!! Unfortunatley in my 30 yeras of endurance training I have pretty much lost all the fast twitch that may have ever existed and I was not starting with tons. Some form of balance between Aerobic, Anaerobic and flexibility is the key especially as we all get older. You probably need to cycle more and I need to do more strength training and we all need to keep up our flexibility.

Some amount of the training process in cycling and endurance sports is psychological. There is no substitute for knowing that you can run for 2 hours or cycle for 6 or climb for 20 miles staright because you have done it before and you know how to get to the end. But all of this will come my friend!!! Enjoy and take it at your own pace.
