[image] FTP, VO2max and VLaMax: what triathletes need to know with Sebastian Weber |... Sebastian Weber is a sports scientist and highly successful coach, in both professional sports (having worked with athletes like Peter Sagan, Tony Martin, and André Greipek) and with age-group enduran…

[image] Bioteknik: not doing high intensity seems to have lowered my vlamax, but vo2max has declined. Capacity through high volume is there though to make a big jump in power so may get to last year’s ftp, but at almost half the level of lactate. This is exactly what I’m after. Guess that mea…

Could you give some details as what tests you used with lactate meter to guide your training? I don’t have a lactate meter yet and didn’t do incsyd testing but I’m very interested in the physiology behind training. I’ve described my training in the thread about interview with Steve Neal and my focu…

[image] Bioteknik: Also included by the science of winning combined with some old school lydiard basics i decided to hold off on most suprathreshold intervals from October until now. I did do some 4x8 intervals but those were still well below the normal vo2 power range. The Aerobic Capacity T…

[image] Bioteknik: Cliffs notes, not doing high intensity seems to have lowered my vlamax, but vo2max has declined. From TTS198 Training structure, periodisation and the science of winning with Jan Olbrecht, PhD | EP#198 [image] That sounds like what you wrote. On the other hand, from The…

Well I said most, not all suprathreshold work. I did almost none between Oct-Jan, then did 6x4 5x5, 4x7 and then 4x7, 4x7, 4x8 @ 105% target as my intensity each week. But the intensity of the 105% was actually self-selected as the power I could maintain throughout. It started right around 300 watts…

[image] Bioteknik: You highlighted some of the chapter, but I believe there’s also a blurb that doing too much aerobic capacity work can also increase your anaerobic capacity yes its in the second screenshot above, second bullet item beginning with “possibly in an increase of anaerobic capaci…

[image] Bioteknik: In his swimming examples, he rarely sees a detriment to having a low anaerobic capacity, as in the majority of the distances, he argues that having a higher anaerobic contribution at threshold means you tend to be faster. Sorry, I don’t understand this. Wouldn’t a higher a…

yeah, that must be a typo. Most of those swimming events are 1-5 minutes, so he noticed that the faster swimmers at those distances tended to have higher lactate values.

I thought I remember there being a table that said that the aerobic capacity workouts he prescribed DID raise anaerobic capacity as well. They raise both aerobic and anaerobic capacity. The bullet you quoted is saying aerobic power went down possibly because anaerobic capacity went up. However I did…
