i wasn't intending to promote Dr Noakes theories but point out that the science of 'endurance exercise' is not 'Not much has changed in the past 15 - 20 years'. i think our understanding of physiology has changed significantly and the meaning, application and understanding of our knowledge is still developing.

That may be true (or not), but citing Noakes is a very poor way of making your case, because his ideas re. the 'central governor' and how, e.g., this limits VO2max have failed to gain any significant 'traction' (as evidenced, e.g., by the fact that his papers on this topic are rarely cited by others, and typically only then by those refuting the idea).

additionally, the statment that LT 'is perhaps THE most important physiological parameter' is not confirmed by the reseach.

Sorry, but I couldn't disagree with this statement any more strongly than I do.
