Here's exactly how one middle aged dude got to just a little less than 5W/kg...Ronnestad case study

Here’s a case study of a 37 year old cyclist that had been training for at least a decade? The paper says he had been getting tested at their facility for 10 years. Anyhow, here is a blow-by-blow accounting of about a year of training. At the beginning he was generating 3.6W/kg at 3mmol/kg & by the end he was generating 4.9W/kg @ 3mmol/kg. Not my favorite metric but still that’s a whopping great increase for an experienced guy. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/317988842_A_Scientific…
