Use it. Don't use it.
Ryinc Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Rather than hours/week, these are the numbers you need according to a former pro, Vets racer and now coach. Use it. Don't use it.Agree with bianchisti that w/kg is better number to use as benchmark than hours training. A genetically gifted athlete putting in 6 hours training will beat an average athlete training 10 hours in my opinion. Note the word "top" in the figures quoted though as well. I think the midpack/not getting dropped consistently guys are at least a good 0.5w/kg-1w/kg lower than the numbers above. Its not just numbers though, its also being able to read race, position oneself etc
Frosty Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Quality over quantity has been around for years, but the measurement of the efforts has evolved though... RPE, HR, Power.
