How do people approximately calculate their LT1 and LT 2 without a blood test?

Thanks for the thoughts, guys. Do as much as you can, as hard as you can, all the time. - My High School XC Coach

[image] sryke: just because there is a signal does not mean there occurs an adaption. Sure, but we are not talking about any signal…but muscular activity…to quote Viru, who wrote a nice book on this precise topic: [image]

[image] sryke: oo much can impair recovery. Impaired recovery equals less adaptions. At some point there is no subsitute for volume. This is my take on it. Also it allows the athlete to do enough intensity for his goals whilst still maximising his volume and getting most bang for his buck. On…

[image] carytb: On Twitter I seem to recall ISM saying he didn’t know how he’s become known as a solely Z2 guy “My riders do a LOT of intensity” he said. Different sources say that he prescribed almost only Z2 in the beginning. Apparently he moved away from this over the years, seeing the WT …

And in general, for ISM, the intensity ‘‘cap’’ is suprathreshold (so at or just above lt2)? Or is that only because he mainly trains guys that need that type of intensity for their events?

I heard on one of the numerous podcasts he was on that the intensity is appropriate to the specific event. So if there’s an uphill finish the intensity would be s lot higher than if you were training someone for a lone breakaway win. Thing Pog & McNulty possibly

[image] sryke: having built many mathematical models of molecular signal cascades in my previous professional life I can assure everyone: just because there is a signal does not mean there occurs an adaption. The body produces signals all the time without actually really picking them up. Often i…

Yes, just listened to that as well and enjoyed it. I really appreciated the discussion at the end about how problematic scientific publishing/journals have become, even in such non-controversial areas as sports physiology. Trying to have a discussion with someone as to why the ‘published scientifi…
