Let’s have a thread to share any info on pro/elite training. I find this topic highly interesting and inspirational. I will make a start: Mathew Hayman [image] Mathew Hayman Career Analysis: Part One | TrainingPeaks Retired Pro Cyclist Mathew Hayman and his coach Kevin Poulton reflect…

Just listened to a German podcast where they interviewed one of Bora’s coaches. I’m always surprised at how little they talk about actual training. However, one information nugget can be shared. Q: what has changed in training compared to 20 years ago? A: Especially with Dan Lorang joining the tea…

Thats an interesting thought. Is volume at altitude more effective?

Sounds interesting. Might that be due to the fact that their aerobic base has already been built so much during all the years in the sport that putting in insane amounts of hours for marginal gains is simply not worth it? So they instead focus on doing “maintenance” work to keep what they have and…

I think the pyramidal approach is just unnecessary. Look at athletes the van der Poel, pidcock, or WVA. They race competitively year round. Adequate rest is all that’s required to continually improve.

I’ve had this on my to-do list for quite a while. Just added the power distribution to my charts. McNulty November, ISM textbook style base period implementation. What can’t be seen, those shorter tempo efforts are low cadence work. [grafik]

Code correction, I had to move the histogram 12.5 watts to the right. Slighlty more intense. [grafik]

These histos allow such a better understanding of how these guys train. Dec/Jan 20/21 of Sonny Colbrelli. Stellar season. I’d say his real training started mid Dec. And once again plenty around these magic 300W. [grafik] [grafik]

His january sessions look like spring classics races. A lot of hard work. Quite different from ISM approach.

McNulty back in training. Easy/recovery days, right at AeT days and … shocker … he even goes into no man’s land/black hole/boy-you-overtrain territory, the evil of all training zones: tempo! What is ISM telling this boy!
