Muscle fiber types, recovery and training adaptations

[bbarrera]

trial and error? I definitely seem to get some benefit from overload weeks. Even to the point where a large overload followed by 5+ days off has delivered nice bumps in performance.

BTW about 18 months ago you found and shared a nice overview on different training approaches for slow vs fast dominant athletes:

Quality over Quantity vs. 80/20 (or Chad vs. Matt ;))

I thought this was an interesting slide show on Long Slow Distance vs. HIIT I was always more of a sprinter so it kind of explains why I’ve been responding well to a polarized approach. I can do SST or Threshold workouts but they leave me fatigued as they accumulate.
