Hi Bjorn,
I also asked myself your question 1) and 2) about the distribution of volume and I find your post interesting as it suggests there might be a connection to muscle fiber composition.
Unfortunately, I don’t have enough experience or knowledge to answer your question. In fact it feels like a missing piece to me. I can individualize intensity with the drift test, I can individualize volume by logging my fatigue levels, but what’s the naviagtion light for training frequency?
However, I can contribute an interesting article that I have read just recently which may contribute to the topic and your rehabilitation situation: https://athletesacceleration.com/the-plight-of-the-elite-fast-twitch-athlete/ . In the Uphill Athlete book it says we fast-twitch people need more Z1-Z2 aerobic base training. Combined with the “fast-twitch people are neurologically overpowered”-hypothesis from the article, I personally would not do ME training to not compromise aerobic development.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
