@Scienceofsport There seems to be more mainstream confusion that ever unfortunately Ross. Our latest thoughts on both high CHO fuelling and CHO periodisation (in my view, the way to practice) are here, both FREE to download:

The myth of switching to fat metabolism. Countless times I have heard commentators say “And then you switch to fat metabolism”. But how does fuel use actually work? Is there really a switch to fat metabolism? https://t.co/YmqmwPXJOd
Power record data across different durations from 144 professional cyclists, by @pl_valenzuela et al.
The authors state that to be "competitive", riders seem to need to be in the 75th percentile W range.
But this isn't even the most interesting part...

"89% of international U17/U18 athletes never reach that level as seniors, and 83% of international-class seniors weren't U17/U18 internationals"
A good reminder that athletes whose talent seemingly emerges in their 20s are the rule, not the exception.

Estas son la recomendaciones de ingestas intraentreno generales que hacemos en https://t.co/NGp1A8Ruyz
Siempre hay detalles y condiciones particulares que no se pueden incluir en unas recomendaciones generales.
@andykirkland71 hi! what a great article! maybe this scale by Fred Grappe (published in a french textbook) is the closest existing ressource (it includes race intensity, feeling/perception and physiological terms)
¿DEBEN LOS DEPORTISTAS ENTRENAR EN AYUNAS?
El ayuno o la dieta cetogénica, como ocurre con todas las herramientas o estrategias de alimentación, tienen su sentido en algunos contextos para algunos objetivos concretos. Pero pueden ser pésimas para otros contextos u otros objetivos
I wanted to review the different lactate interpretation methods that exist. Here's what I came up with. If I made any technical errors, please let me know! My email and DMs are open :)
Thanks, @felipe_mattioni and @exphyslab for the great platform!

Light and shade is required for long term improvements from your training
Because the body needs variable stimulus to adapt.
If you are in a performance plateau, time to make a major shift in training periodization.
Explore different options to move the needle.
Lactate Profiles Are Fitness Profiles
• Common Profiles
• How To Train Each Profile
• Positive vs Maladaptations
I've had all 4 Profiles
• You can "see" the curves in performance data
• Lactate testing saves you time & mojo
Let's dig in
With more athletes embracing lactate testing, below is a simple thread as to how you can use your test curve to set your training plan, in this case in the context of triathlon 🧵1/
Understanding Tempo (3rd Gear)
1st Gear: use the thread below, and yesterday's article, to find Aerobic Threshold (AeT)
2nd Gear: Steady is at, or a little over, AeT
3rd Gear starts to get confusing due to all the lingo you'll hear
Let's see if I can help
Onward...
