On the Polarized Training launch thread:
where I believe “designed constraints” of General Build are:
while the designed constraints of Short Power Build are:
whereas polarized is likely closer to:
Lets say you swap out General Build and replace it with the 8-week Polarized. The problem is that AT ‘knows’ general build should equally push (pic above) sweet spot and threshold and vo2max WHILE minimizing endurance & high/burst power. But Polarized is somewhat the opposite and you should be maximizing endurance and vo2max/high-power/burst-power. Let’s call that AT confusion. Does AT confusion have a material impact on AT? Do I understand the issue correctly? Ask TR.
