Solid base vs unstructured training - case study with results

Interesting read, thanks for posting.

I would love to have access to find my CHO/FT burn rates at given intensities. I do have a facility close by that offers VO2 testing and other profiling, maybe I’ll drop them a line…

Slightly off-topic but I feel it relevant to reflect how the macronutrient composition of foods ingested can & will influence burn rate.

It’s a two part read but really isn’t long or complex, very easily understood. It compares two atheletes with either predisposition for CHO/FT and re-evaluates this after following a HFLC diet for 8 or 12 weeks (I think).

The high CHO pre & post.

The athelete with the greater preference for fat pre & post.

Part 1
