Racing more doesn't always mean performing better.
Pro cycling shows it: rest > grinding.
Training camps. Recovery. Heat. Altitude. All year.

We glorify Zones 4 and 5.
But your heart might not care.
Low-intensity, longer duration work in Zones 1 and 2 drives the most cardiac adaptation... not the hard stuff.

Are fatigability & durability different?
🔹 Fatigability = max force decline
🔹 Durability = performance decline over time
Extend fatigability to power over time… and durability's already captured.

Dr. @AKoutnik and Dr. @PaulBLaursen unpack a key finding:
When hypoglycemia is controlled, both high-carb and keto athletes improved performance by ~22%.
Different diets. Same limiter: stable glucose prevents bonking.
Evidence over noise.

160+ studies. One pattern.
In 88% of cases, carbs improved performance by preventing blood glucose drops... not by adding more fuel.

On the Training Science Podcast, Dr. @AKoutnik and Dr. @PaulBLaursen break down how low blood glucose drives fatigue.
When the brain senses hypoglycemia, it downregulates output to protect itself... and performance drops.
