Philosophically that might be a good fit for Lionel, considering that the Norwegians do tons of volume, which seems to be Lionel's preference. It will be interesting to see how this pans out, and how Mikel handles when Lionel does Lionel stuff, which is where he's struggled in the past with coaches...
I somehow can't see it going well. David Tilbury Davis definitely knows what he's doing, is also scientific, experience, the whole package. Still didn't work out.. Twice. Best would be to trust 100% in a coach but since that's not gonna happen imho, next best thing is self-coaching
I honestly believe he is following Mikal's workouts to the letter - for the first time. I don't know for a fact - but it sounded like he and DTD worked more in an advisory role - LS I think I should do X...DTD - ok, maybe make those intervals Y then - LS that sounds good, or I think I need to push more power.
It sounds like Mikal is working some areas that Lionel hasn't focused on, working more on efficiency than overall getting power higher and trying to outpower everyone. In the last video too - he talks about IOG and figuring out aero stuff to help and such - I think as I get older I realize I don't know that much (god I knew a lot more when I was in my early 20s...) and am more open to listening to others for sure.
It's going to be fascinating...and I really see the buy in with Lionel that he had with Aquabear, and hopefully that is the case.
