Too complicated to explain, but I have tried that in the past (young and naive I was).
I have tried doing it on frequency and high intensity focus and it sucked during training and during the race...finished the last 30 miles of the bike at 10 mph and walked/crawled more than half of the marathon and ended up in Med Tent.
I finished, but was it maximizing my performance? Not even close.
Yeah, I probably did it wrong, I guess......hogwash!
Even if they vicariously deny it, you need to have a genetic gift to ace an IM on 12 hrs/week or less.
It is foolish to believe that you can just replicate the freaks of nature.
It is even irresponsible to suggest everybody should try it without having evidence that it may work (shorter events on marginal training etc.).
