Andrew – You make a good point, it’s not possible to know exactly why another coach does something unless they openly state it. I was curious if these thresholds and progressions resembled another “school” of training. I had checked their website and they do not indicate any training philosophies (Italians don’t embrace tech quite as much as others).
Alpine – The AnT of 182 seemed high to me as well, especially when the only data given was a max HR test. You’re also right, it resembles most endurance training plans; I thought it included more speed-work than I’m accustomed to seeing in plans but nothing crazy. Funnily enough, I had the given them the “expert halo” and hadn’t considered that it could have been a simple computation error when coming up with the thresholds. I think my biggest fear was the high intensity and minimal aerobic work leading to the 3 month peak with no further progression and no long-term adaptations made.
