Hint: It's all about that #AerobicBase
1/ "Purify" your aerobic season.

If you're going to focus on building your aerobic metabolism, focus on building your aerobic metabolism.

Don't give your body mixed messages!
2/ Find joy in the process!

99% of your athletic life is training and it's likely the epic training experiences that you'll remember most.

You have limited control over whether you win or lose a given event, but you have complete control over crafting those experiences.

So, now that we're all agreed on just how important having an #AerobicBase of strong #FatBurning is...

Just how do we go about building one?

A brief thread... 👇
Above you'll see data from 10 recent metabolic tests for athletes that I also have training data for.

They range from
- recreational athletes <-> elite
- super strong #FatBurners of 11kcal/min <-> athletes with very poor max fat oxidation rates of 2kcal/min..
You can see their average training intensity for the 12 mo before the test plotted against their test results. The first takeaway is obvious..

Athletes with a strong ability to use fat as a substrate spend more of their time training at a very low intensity than those who don't!
