As I’m concentrating on strength training for the next few months, I’m moving away from the usual sweetspot / threshold training and doing a more polarized training. This should fit better together with strength training. The majority of bike work will be easy endurance and a few hard Vo2 max interval sessions, ratio 80/20 or 90/10. On most easy bike days, weights are less of an issue and on hard Vo2 days, I make sure I’m allowing 24 hours or more between bike and lifting.

I usually stream the podcast, but decided to download it so I can listen again later (sometimes it takes me a couple of times to understand all of a topic). Pretty interesting.

It is a simple attempt at using this method with no actual scientific documentation and lacks a full attempt to make this wide reaching.
