Training Models, Intensities & Their Distributions; Do They Even Matter?! - With Prof Billy Sperlich and Paul Laursen
Show Notes

“BEST” practice likely does not exist - not only is there MANY ways to design training, but athletes are also PEOPLE 😊, and their life will change their training DAILY!

Prof Billy Sperlich wants you to understand that any system 🌐 you might design, independent of what training intensity distribution or philosophy it follows, will always fail to meet any predictions a priori. He wants you to think and APPLY more to each individual athlete’s LIFE when considering long-term training adaptations - AFTER you watch their impact ⚡!

In the 88th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul and Billy discuss:

💓 the INTENTION & RELEVANCE of polarized, threshold & other training theories;

💪🏼 how to make SENSE & USE  of INTENSITY ZONES & their distributions; 

⚙️ why technology may be the NEXT important thing to HELP us with training design.
