Since some folks on this thread have invoked Steve Neal’s ideas (and why wouldn’t you, he’s Canadian and this is MAP after all), I’ll just throw one out there that is related to this comment. Steve has often said that one of his favorite things to do is have riders do a bunch of long tempo training (tempo in this context is LT1 - ~.85 IF, depending on rider’s balance point) and then have them see MAP go up. “But you didn’t do any high intensity, did you? How 'bout that”…in a “so what did we learn today, kids” kind of way. It’s cool when it happens.
