What is Periodization??

“In this respect, the essence of a periodized training program design is to skillfully combine different training methods to yield better results than can be achieved through exclusive or disproportionate use of a single method”

 

-Discuss: Example of Periodization for the cyclist who ONLY wants to race cyclocross

What is Polarization

“Training largely at a lower intensity (not easy) typically called zone 1 (under first Ventilatory threshold, <2mm Lactate), some/little/no training at threshold (between VT1-2)  and remaining 15-20% of sessions are intervals/HIIT above the VT2 (threshold) This is opposed Threshold Training that focuses more on the area between the two ventilatory thresholds or ‘Zone 2’ ” 

“About 75% of their training sessions are performed with essentially the entire session below the first ventilatory threshold (≤2.0 mM blood lactate). In 5–10% of training sessions, major portions of the training are performed between VT1 and VT2. The remaining 15–20% of training sessions are performed as interval bouts, with substantial periods of work above VT2.”

Show Notes 

MENTIONED IN INTRO

Elite vs. amateur -> there are differences but also some commonalities
   – elites have time and can train as much as can
    – best athletes train a lot
    –
Amateur have limits on time
BUT -> there is intensity distribution of time And recreational need that almost more! Not limited by NEED to recover like elites. That is the problem (the black hole) medium intensity
 –  => Black hole workouts (training in middle intensities where feels good, ’30min run’ ) LINK to Outside article

 

80:20 – (polarized)
Media influence and interpretation of training
Hierarchy of Endurance Needs
hierarchy seiler athletic needs
– Hype of training / quick fixes
 – need to establish basics
 – buying gains,
– the pyramid/hierarchy of endurance needs
      -> inspired by Hype Cycle or Curve (link) that has expectation, dissolution,
 – the basics aren’t sexy/ profitable
 – all about doing the work
  – also similar to Maslow’s Hierarchy

 

Basics first (volume, HIT, distribution)
Then other stuff (periodization, blocks, altitude, peaking etc)

-> higher elements have risk: low-cost reward (response, sickness, decrease training)

– average person focus low-cost techniques
– eating the cake vs. making the cake
– aerobic conditioning allows fast recovery
Crosstraining:

 

Sufferfests –

 

Elites discipline
New discoveries with lots of data now ??

 

Best books – come back to
Gladwell’s books  – Gladwell’s books
– Glicks – chaos/butterfly effects in “Making New Science Book” 
– don’t discount older books on reinvent wheel

Indoor Training, Base, Fueling run-bike, How to Fall

Posted on by Peter
Today we discuss your questions about a typical winter/indoor cycling week of training, the concept of ‘non-linear periodization’ or doing year round intensity and then look at how to fuel a big run one day, followed by a huge gravel race the next day. Finally, we discuss ways to fall better (and avoid it in the first place!)
