Dear all,
following up on the recent threads that deal with FTP calculation and training intensity and training efficacy and all that, one questions came to my mind:
How much of my potential do I leave on the table if I do not follow a perfectly structured training regimen. Consider two scenarios to judge.
A: Training 7h per week, not structured and adjusted to real life, filling in training where possible. Could be training 4 days in a row or every second day training 3h at once or only blocks of 45 min etc......Overall intensity distribution: 80% easy to moderate, 20% anything from hard to all out.
B: Training 7h per week but perfectly structured (FTP in place, good coach, periodization etc.)
What's your guess, over a 70.3 are we talking 5 min improvement A vs B or are we talking 15 min improvement A vs B, or even more???
What do you think slowtwitchers?
