@GuruAnaerobic Master swimmer here , at 40 I'm very close to my times at 16-18 , so I think the best master athletes were really good in their youth and that muscle memory Carries on so if they keep training the body knows what to do

The profound downregulation of dopaminergic circuits from artificial dopamine hits, has been a true disaster for the human race.

It’s the lobotomy of the 21st century.

@Braden_Keith Sadly he's peak was 2021 Olympic trials, after that vaccine incident in Tokyo something broke inside him and was never the same athlete

@DavidDack The real issue is people don't feel the effort then they think they are waisting time just look at Lionel Sanders , he thought easy training was a waste of time when in fact avoiding easy training was limiting his endurance capacity

[Jean Michel Garzon @Jeankof]

@delmontechris @CtotheI No, what used to feel super hard feels manageable and the recovery between hard efforts during rides is faster , for me was hard to comprehend how by training below 140 in my case helped with the hard stuff

@CtotheI Your perceived exhertion drops drastically from 12 weeks onwards it's like nothings happening and suddenly everything feels effortless

My entire philosophy of training 👇

1. Above and beyond performance level/performance goals, first and foremost, movement is medicine.
It needs to be taken over the lifespan and is most important in the latter years. If you don't 'take your medicine' regularly, at some point you're going to experience significant pain. As such, our #1 responsibility & first priority, as coaches, should always be to facilitate a healthy, long-term relationship with physical activity & "do no harm".

2. A serious commitment to endurance sports training provides an outlet (and some societal legitimacy) for us, as adults in the modern, 'developed' (non paleolithic) world, to move the amount necessary to preserve health and function over time &, beyond that, the amount that we (as humans) are designed to!

3. As in medicine, when prescribed the right 'dose' at the right time, ALL healthy athletes will get better (though at different rates). As in medicine, when the wrong dose is prescribed, ALL athletes will fail to respond to 'treatment' & eventually get sick. As in medicine, when no organized 'treatment plan' is prescribed, the athlete will progressively deteriorate over time. In other words, plan first and foremost for *consistency* & #TakeYourMedicine

4. It follows that, a large part of 'good coaching' comes down to prescribing the right dose of the right medicine for a given athlete at the right time (In my opinion, not quantifying the dosages that you're prescribing amounts to irresponsible medicine & bad coaching).

5. The 'right dosage' that amounts to an athlete getting better, not sick, overtrained or injured, varies greatly among individual athletes (according to training background, gender, age and genetics) . The 'right dose' is also very strongly related to other (non-training) stressors in their life. Therefore, good coaches (& athletes) monitor non-training stressors & adjust the training accordingly.

6. Athletes who can handle truly competitive 'big doses' tend to be generally 'robust' - strong, supple, muscularly balanced with good general health and constitution, i.e. they lay a foundation of moving well in a variety of ways, at a variety of speeds, with a variety of loads. Even then, big doses can only be sustained for short periods of time and by going out of their way to facilitate recovery (sleep, nutrition etc). This includes actively minimizing/managing other sources of stress, i.e. they eat nutritious foods and live a simple, stable, low-stress life.

7. When it comes to the 'medicine of choice', intensity is no substitute for aerobic volume. The effects don't last and high intensity training has significant negative 'side effects'. If the goal is continued athletic development over the long term, there is simply no substitute for a strong aerobic base.

@stevemagness A more reliable comparison would be with the hour record , in the 90s obree and boardman were the fastest due to "unconventional bike positions" but once the UCI eliminated all those advantages the record went almost back to 70s era

[🍓🍓🍓 @iruletheworldmo]

it is genuinely psychotic that we dug up literal primordial dirt, scrubbed it down to an impossible 99.9999999999% molecular perfection that violates the very laws of physics, handed it over to techno-wizard necromancers to stretch into flawless geometric god-cylinders, blasted it with invisible uv death-rays to carve ten quadrillion microscopic cyber-sigils into its flesh, trapped actual lightning inside of it, and somehow birthed an omniscent eldritch deity capable of simulating the universe and thinking faster than a billion human civilizations combined.

and our grand, supreme purpose for this enslaved lightning-god?
