Ten Minute Tips #18: Metrics Are Not Fitness

1/29/2022

0 Comments

 
Empirical Cycling Podcast · Ten Minute Tips #18: Metrics Are Not Fitness
This episode takes a cue from Kolie's recent webinar on balancing aerobic and anaerobic training (linked in show notes) and delves deeper into the temptations of training to a metric or fitness test. We deconstruct some common FTP tests and metrics like FTP, FRC or W', and VLamax, and their interpretations and over-interpretations. Most of the discussion is about what drives these metrics, the pitfalls therein, and if you're actually getting less fit when they shift.
