Not my intent, but it always works out that way.
I just present the data. The facts. The new research.
But, new information, facts, and research always meet opposition.

Over the past few years it has been my observation that quite often there is a disconnect between training and physiology. Specifically, it is not at all unusual for a coach, athlete, writer, whomever, to offer a physiological explanation for a particular training method only to find out later on that the physiological explanation is inaccurate or incorrect. For example, look at the concept of "lactate threshold" and "lactate threshold training". Runners routinely train at "lactate threshold" pace with tempo runs. Training at that level of intensity is known to improve performance. The physiological explanation for why tempo runs work is that training at or near lactate threshold improves the body's ability to clear fatigue causing lactate from the muscles. [...]
