The key component to Road Racing: LT?

[Robh]

Juerg,

During your 15 years of testing I know you played around using Ketone & Ammonia strips. How did you use them and how did they help with training? Do you still use them today with your athletes?

Cheers Rob

[quote]Paul you are right. Using LBP - 20 or any number is about the same "bad"idea asusing % of max. H and or Max .Wattage.
15 years back wehad no better solutions, but using LBP and than - some HR beats.

Paul that is true , and it is a big part of the discussion in weight loss programs.
1. Do I try to
loose more overall cal. and therefor go more intense, where the % of fat is actually lower, but I still burn more due to the overall intensity.
or
2. Do I try to develop a structural change so I have at the end more muscle fibers, which have the property to burn fat more efficient.
This is the ultimate question and as you see it ends up again in functional reaction versus structural change.

thesecond questio after te above is:
Using more oxygen : does that stimmulate more fat burning as a stressor or does that means , that , becasue there is a higher demand on O2 the body will switch and search for an energy source, wich is able to produce the ATP fast enough, as thedemand goes up.
So if I stress a system higher, so the body has to try to find energy delivery systems, which can supply good enough , and that energy system is mainly glucose, than the question is out ther: What do I stress:
a) the bodies ability tobe more efficient in glucose supply or in Fat supply.
The follow up question is : What is the better stressor for mitochondria development Glucose supply improvement or fat energy improvement.
Where do I burn fat and what do I need in addition to fat to supply ATP ( O2 )
So where do I burn glucose, and what can I do if the O2 supply drops.
In the fat case if O2 supply drtops I can switch to glucose and O2
In the glucosesupply if O2 drops I go to more oxygen independent energy production.
So the question: Where is a higher chance , that I may stay in the O2 and mitochondrial energy production ?
Thansk Paulgood questions and this are the fundamental questions we discussed with over 600 exercise physiological specialsist . Result : more questions and very little answers.
Take care and have a good upcoming week.
PS I appreciate the fact tobe able totalk on here andgive my opinion thanks so much

Juerg your swenglish is very good but I advise you oil your space bar

[Juerg FaCT]

he he I tried with oil ( olive oil and later hemp seed oil ) did not work, so I think it is my brain right thumb co-ordiantion late in the day,
But will try to write after an intense workout , so I can use my tongue for the space bar.

[quote="Juerg FaCT"]When typing too fast the lactate build up in your arms. Breath through your nose and slow the typing down by 5%, I find this helps.
