60 this year. Started out feeling fine in the spring, getting ready for regular 30+ RT commute on crushed limestone trails and 100+ mile weeks.

But I failed a stress test and had multiple stents put in a couple of months ago. I am on beta blockers, blood pressure medicine, and anti-clotting drugs. I am now commuting 30+ twice a week with cardiac rehab the other 3,, and I ride on the weekend. I did my first 100+ mi week last week. Man do I get tired much faster and I am at least a few mph slower - not as fun as even the early spring. I would go 60+ mi rides at the end of last year but 20 takes it out of me right now.

I hope this improves and I get back into it, but I want to keep commuting at least 3 times a week and put in 500 mi months.

Any suggestions?
