TRT for Masters Endurance Athletes
If you’ve been around endurance sports long enough, you’ve probably heard the whispers: “So-and-so started TRT…” or “I’m thinking about getting my levels checked.” Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) has gone from taboo to normal conversation, and for good reason. But let’s be clear from the start. TRT isn’t a magic fix. It’s one lever, and it only works when the others are pulled too. Nutrition, strength training, recovery, and
Bloated and Burned: Why Mainstream Fueling Creates Problems, Then Sells the “Cure”
This week, an email from "The Feed" – a popular endurance nutrition retailer – landed in my inbox, and honestly, I found it quite illuminating, if not a little frustrating. It perfectly encapsulates a problem I've been discussing for years here at Rollfast Coaching: the seemingly endless cycle of problem-creation and product-solution that has become pervasive in mainstream endurance fueling. The email introduced a new "debloat"
Becoming Your Own Health Advocate
For decades, athletes have been guided by a set of established nutritional "rules," the most prominent being the necessity of a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet to fuel performance and the simplistic "calories in, calories out" model for managing weight. At Rollfast Coaching, we believe in Riding Faster, Being Stronger, and Living Longer, and a growing body of evidence suggests that this conventional wisdom may not only
Harvest 50: When “Odd Strategy” Becomes Your Secret Weapon for Speed & Longevity
The dust settled on the Harvest 50 gravel race, and Coach Matt Breeden and I rolled across the finish line, taking 1st and 2nd in the 25-mile course. We’d gone out hard, ripping through the opening miles with the lead pack, hitting a 2025 1-minute power PR in the process. At 51, I was the oldest in that front group by a good 11 years,
Ride Fast, Live Long: Ditching the Carbs with Ultra-Endurance Pioneer Sean Sako
In the world of endurance sports, a simple truth seems to dominate: carbohydrates are king. The industry tells us to constantly refuel to avoid the dreaded "bonk." But what if there's another way? A path that not only fuels incredible athletic feats but also prioritizes long-term health and longevity, allowing you to Ride Faster, Be Stronger, and Live Longer? In a recent Rollfast Coaching call, we
Are Your “Healthy” Veggies Sabotaging Your Immunity & Longevity?
Let's Talk Oxalates. By Christine Tanner, Rollfast Coaching Longevity & Nutrition Expert At Rollfast Coaching, we challenge conventional wisdom. We don't just follow fads; we look at the science, the results, and what truly allows our athletes to Ride Faster, Be Stronger, and Live Longer. And when it comes to nutrition, sometimes what's been marketed as "healthy" is quietly working against you. Today, I want to talk
Weight Loss for Cyclists: Beyond the Math Equation
At Rollfast Coaching, we often hear a common question: "If I just eat fewer calories, I'll lose weight, right?" While the basic principle of "calories in vs. calories out" holds some truth, our approach to nutrition goes much deeper. We believe that sustainable weight management isn't a simple math problem; it's a dynamic biological process that requires a holistic and patient approach. The Body Is Not
Beyond Gels and Dogma: My Journey to Real Fuel, Health, and Lifetime PRs
For years, I was the cyclist you'd expect. My pockets were stuffed with Clif Bars and I dutifully squeezed down a gel every 45 minutes on the bike. It was just what you did. But I had a bigger goal than just finishing a ride: I wanted genuine, long-term health and performance. I wanted to be fast, not just for a season, but for life. That
