Why “Normal” is a Trap

December 8, 2025

You train hard. You track your TSS, your watts per kilo, and your sleep scores. You invest in the best bikes, the best gear, and the best coaching.

But when was the last time you looked under the hood?

Most of us rely on an annual physical to tell us if we are healthy. You walk in, get a basic blood panel, and a few days later, the doctor says, “Everything looks normal. See you next year.”

Here is the problem: “Normal” is the average of a sick population.

Reference ranges in modern medicine are based on the average American—a population that is largely sedentary, metabolically unhealthy, and overweight. As a Rollfast athlete, you do not aspire to be “average.” You aspire to be optimal.

If you want to Ride Faster, Be Stronger, and Live Longer, “normal” isn’t good enough. You need to know what is actually happening inside your body so you can fix the bottlenecks that are holding you back.

The Missing Half of the Equation

Training data only tells half the story. Your physiology tells the rest.

If you’re a cyclist over 40, you’ve probably felt it:

The days when power feels great… and the days when it mysteriously disappears.
The recovery that used to take 24 hours now takes 48.
The stubborn FTP plateau that training alone won’t break.
The fatigue that makes no sense based on the workout you did.

Most cyclists assume this is just “aging.”

It’s not.

For many athletes, the real reason performance becomes unpredictable isn’t training load or motivation — it’s physiology. And that’s exactly what the Rollfast Longevity Audit uncovers.

Lurking beneath the surface could be:

Insulin Resistance: Even thin athletes can be metabolically broken, fueling with sugar and unable to access fat for fuel.
Hormonal Imbalances: Low testosterone or high cortisol that kills your recovery and strength gains.
Hidden Inflammation: The silent killer of cardiovascular endurance and long-term health.
Nutrient Deficiencies: Missing the magnesium or Vitamin D required for optimal muscle function.

You cannot manage what you do not measure.

Introducing the Rollfast Longevity Audit

We are tired of seeing athletes frustrated by generic medical advice. That is why we built the Longevity Audit.

This is not a standard check-up. This is a forensic analysis of your physiology. We look at the biomarkers that actually matter for performance and longevity—markers that standard insurance-based medicine often ignores.

What We Analyze:

We go deep into the data that drives Speed, Strength, and Longevity:

Advanced Lipid Panel: We don’t just look at Cholesterol. We look at ApoB and Lp(a) to assess true cardiovascular risk.
Metabolic Health: We measure Insulin and HbA1c to see how well you handle fuel.
Hormonal Status: A full look at Testosterone (Free and Total), Estradiol, and Cortisol to ensure your anabolic/catabolic balance is right.
Inflammation & Organ Health: hs-CRP, Liver enzymes, and Kidney function.

How It Works

We have streamlined the process to be as efficient as an interval session:

The Intake: You fill out a comprehensive lifestyle and health history form.
The Draw: We send you to a local lab for a comprehensive blood draw. No doctor visit required.
The Audit: Once the data is in, we don’t just email you a PDF. You sit down (virtually) with our Longevity Expert for a review session.
The Roadmap: You walk away with a specific, actionable plan. This might include supplementation protocols, nutrition adjustments, or training modifications to fix the red flags and optimize the green ones.

Invest in Your Engine

You meticulously maintain your bike. You check the tire pressure before every ride, you lube the chain, and you charge your Di2 batteries. You wouldn’t treat a $10,000 machine with neglect.

Yet, many of us treat the engine—our body—like a rental.

Stop maintaining the equipment better than the athlete. The Rollfast Longevity Audit gives your body the same level of attention you give your bike. It’s time to stop guessing and start optimizing.
