My radiant heating system takes a very long time to heat the house. Is there a way to speed up the process?

I bought a weekend house last fall with radiant heat and mostly wide-plank pine wood floors. To save energy in the winter I turn the heat down to 45-50 degrees when I leave on Sunday night. I turn the heat back up on Friday evenings but it can take over 24 hours just to get back to 60 degrees. Once the house has warmed up the system is fine. The house is new (less than 10 years old) and well-insulated. I’ve gone into the basement and felt the hot water running through the system within minutes of turning it on.
