Episode notes
INSIGHT

Velocity as Key Metric

  • Velocity is the ultimate output in endurance sports, reflecting a complex system.
  • Focus on velocity improvements, not just intermediate metrics like VO2 max.
INSIGHT

Traditional Metrics in Context

  • Traditional endurance metrics like FTP, critical power, VO2 max, and thresholds fit within the performance model.
  • They represent mechanical power and metabolic power, contributing to velocity.
INSIGHT

Zonal Compression and Trade-offs

  • Zonal compression, seen in athletes like those in the Breaking Two project, involves compressing training zones due to improved efficiency.
  • This often leads to trade-offs, such as a decrease in VO2 max while efficiency increases.
