[AJS914]

Probably not. What kind of rider do you want to be? What events are you training for? You already have good anaerobic abilities. Do you need them to be stronger?

Muscle fiber types, recovery and training adaptations

I was listening to the latest TTS podcast today. It covered a topic that I was thinking of lately, namely the differences between more “fast-twitch” fiber oriented athletes and “slow twitchers” in training. Muscle fiber types, recovery and training adaptations, and overreaching with Phil Bellinger, PhD | EP#297 It is very much talked about the different training approaches like SweetSpot (Treshold), Polarized, Pyramidal and so on. What is often missed in those discussions is the individual v…

Training for anaerobic athlete ... science?

Does anyone have any resources on how to train an anaerobic athlete versus a more aerobic athlete? Also the training would be for general road riding not sprinting on a track. I’ve seen a lot of anecdotal stuff but I don’ t have a good conclusion on how it affects periodization or specific workouts of the training plan. For example, we have the many topics on how anaerobic athletes can overtest on the ramp. The more interesting aspect to me would be how one would train the anaerobic athlete co…
