K.I.S.S. training

Recognition of this fact (if you accept the premise anyway) makes it a lot easier to understand why “all roads lead to Rome”. That is, there are numerous tactics that can be used to achieve this strategy, with success coming not from some “secret recipe” but simply the diligent application of established training principles (esp. overload).

Any reason you didn’t mention specificity? As in, training for the effort you want to excel in? XCO vs. gran fondo for example.

And with your 3 categories, is there still any good reason to train with a power meter? Other than maybe measuring progressive overload a tick more precise than by time, distance, vertical climbing speed etc?
