INSIGHT

80-20 Is A Session Rule Not Time-Based

  • 80-20 was defined as a session distribution, not time in zones.
  • Converting sessions to time often makes the split closer to 90-10 by time.
ADVICE

Prioritize Duration Over Extra Intensity

  • Extend one weekly session instead of always increasing intensity.
  • Duration triggers adaptations that short high-intensity sessions do not produce.
ADVICE

Calibrate Power Against Physiology

  • Calibrate power with heart rate or physiological stress when using power meters.
  • Beware of overestimating FTP because athletes tend to report a vanity FTP.
