Training theory assumes physical challenge directly drives proportionate fitness responses.

This is not true.

In this free session I'll explain why & outline how we can deliver better, more effective programs.

'Excelling over a long period of time requires a sense of what makes us who we are and what we stand for (ruggedness) and also the ability to adapt, keep an open mind, and update our views when presented with new evidence and realities (flexibility).' Brad Stulberg

A new meta-analysis on the impact of goal setting on performance found:

1. Process goals had a large effect on performance
2. Performance goals had a moderate effect
3. Outcome goals had a negligible effect

Finally published in full and open access from the PhD of ⁦Arthur Henrique Bossi⁩ Modelling inter-individual variability in acute and adaptive responses to interval training: insights into exercise intensity normalisation | European Journal of Applied Physiology link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Forced to choose, we suggest that keto adaptation impairs endurance performance. However, as ever we note - there is more to learn, and collaboration beats conflict in expanding knowledge and practice.

No you don’t need to be the “heroic” version of yourself in order to make an impact.

You need to be the version of yourself that’s a situational fit for the context and needs of those you lead.

🚨 The Spinal Engine Theory suggests that the human spine is the primary engine of locomotion, not just a supportive structure.

⚠️ If you're a coach of ANY sport - this matters.

'When life follows the rule of stimulus–response, need–satisfaction and goal–action, it atrophies into pure survival: naked biological life ... If we lose the ability to be inactive, we begin to resemble machines that must simply function.” -- Byung-Chul Han

We all crave feedback from peers, authentic connection and the opportunity to improve.

It doesn't matter how smart or technically gifted a person is, if effective communication skills and emotional intelligence is lacking, establishing trust will be difficult, and trust between all members of the team is the foundation for HP operation.

A 'cognitive bias' is a systematic error in thinking that ruins decision-making.

The 12 most powerful cognitive biases I've found:

Something a little different.

Caught up with Belgian aero king Victor Campenaerts for an interview about life in the pro peloton for the good folk at Precision Fuel & Hydration.

Impressive character, puts the ego to one side and refuses to rest on his laurels.

Here is an informative thread on the difference between lactate 'behavior' during a progressive 'threshold test' and lactate behavior over time at any given work intensity. Big difference!

Important study led by Gorka Prieto-Bellver of which I am honored to be part of.
If you are still doing CHO periodization or restricting CHO, you should read this study.
No improvements in performance or substrate utilization.

At the highest level of sport we have known this for

This is a significant breakthrough in the carb periodization approach!
While many of us knew or at least had a suspicion about it, no one has ever published data before it in top athletes before.
Thanks very much for the paper Javier Sola

Chris Kilmurray I believe it’s because physiologists use the tools available in their toolbox to measure stuff that they can with their tools. VO2max is nice to know but what is often forgotten is the inverse relationship with efficiency.
