For instance, let's say you were/are incredibly inefficient (not the case, I'm sure) - we'd allocate more training time, A LOT MORE, to sub threshold efforts and perhaps go so far as to even avoid anything close to/above FTP for a while in order to "de-train" your glycolytic system. I'll explain more in person but for the long course athlete, this test, when executed in conjunction with your power meter, is the most valuable testing you can do pre-event. We'll want to test one more time before IMLP though so we know exactly where things stand post build up - this is where we'll attain all of the data that'll allow us to fine tune your caloric needs on race day and give us insight to the exact wattage/paces that we're going to target.<br /><br />Tell Mary that it's the best $150 you could spend.JRMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17066100132915015588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5673867350092811567.post-31445681896005494962010-04-24T04:35:44.071-07:002010-04-24T04:35:44.071-07:00well depending on the complete outcome it may chan...well depending on the complete outcome it may change pacing strategy, wattage numbers and how I consume calories on the bike and run to maximize fat burning fuel resources and not tapping into those glycogen stores until absolutely necessary. If I can prevent the, " Bonk" and bike and run to my potential, and knowing that I've done all the training necessary, then I know I've dotted my "I's" and crossed my "T's", so my results will be what it is and I will need to be happy with it.donna fursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07537990765139932192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5673867350092811567.post-55398177872039565902010-04-24T03:23:04.237-07:002010-04-24T03:23:04.237-07:00Ice baths do hurt so much!

Also, how will you use the data once you get it? How will it change your training? (or not...) :)GetBackJoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971771566518642672noreply@blogger.com
