....did a search but it came back a little scattershot. So, I'm gonna throw this specific case out there....
Got a friend, around 50 yo male, pretty fit, 6' and maybe 200(?) lbs, found the love for cycling roughly 5 years ago.
Made gains just from riding as much as he could find time for.... a couple of group rides, a couple of non group rides, per week, but not much structure.
Ready to get structured and find out what all this interval talk is about! Not looking at any real races but wants to get faster and have some pop with the group stuff. Basically, just looking to take it to the next level.
But, for the last year or so, he's been dealing with a new diagnosis of AFib, and he's been (per his cardiologist) tweaking his beta blocker dose to find that perfect amount that will allow him to let his HR creep up on harder efforts while still keeping him safe (knowing that the lowest doses allow the AFib to show up every now and then).
I know this is pretty common out there in the real world. How do you guys steer this kind of masters athlete that is facing this obstacle?
Curious to see what advice y'all can muster up!
Thanks in advance.
