Hey Steve!! I’m really not here to argue, but I do want to (respectfully!) clarify a few things about our paper so it’s not misrepresented. Appreciate the chance to add a bit of nuance to the discussion!

You've probably seen headlines: High-Intensity Training is superior to easy aerobic running.
But dig deeper and you'll notice a pattern: most of these studies are short: just 4 to 8 weeks.
A recent review tells a fuller story.
In the early weeks, HIT and Sprint Interval…
A few consensus points on "zone 2 training" from 14 exercise scientists & cycling coaches:
1. Use multiple intensity markers
2. Contrast internal vs. external work
3. Consider adjusting power in late stages of session

Really nice trial! VO2max improved by ~+10% in 8wks, the same for both 2 🆚 4 training sessions/wk. 30 F & M untrained participants
Performance outcomes also improved similarly in both groups: Wpeak +30 W (+0.45 W/kg!) on average. TTF @ 85% Wpeak shown here

In our recent meta-analysis we found:
🔴Higher level competitive athletes improved VO2max modestly more with Polarised training
🔷Lower level recreational athletes modestly more with Pyramidal training
This is what those differences looks like 👇
But is this meaningful? 🤔1/🧵
Training adherence: The key to improving as a cyclist 🚴♂️
1/ The start of the year is a great time to remember that in cycling, as in life, not everything will be perfect.
Injuries, illness, or even weeks with little time to train can make us feel like we're falling behind.
🚴♂️💪 Should cyclists include gym-based strength training in their routine?
It depends on 3 crucial pillars.
Let's go with a brief thread and a decision map 🧵👇
1/ 🧵Detraining during the off-season🤔
It's that time of year when many cyclists consider a "transition" period between seasons, when there’s often confusion about what's best for future performance: complete rest? Keeping up the usual training load? Or just easing off a bit?
This is such an interesting experiment on durability.
@MagnusBakKlaris@Nyborger_Nybo and colleagues put 12 elite cyclists through a 6 hour field test simulating a road race.
They then tested different power outputs, fat oxidation, lactate through and after the simulation...
Planning puzzle:
Do your intervals to exhaustion, get highest magnitude of stimulus and need to wait 3 days before ready to repeat the session?
Or do intervals less exhaustive, get slighly lower magnitude of stimulus and be ready to repeat in 2 days?
Obviously…
