Thanks for the nuance.

Thanks Scott – that’s very useful. (Dave currently navigating a very slow return to some training after a covid wipe out – it’ll come…I’ll be saving these stride outs for when things are a lot more back on track!)

Hi Matze,

I’ve heard Inigo San Millan talk about this on The Drive podcast. Youtube of it here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6PDBVRkCKc&t=2670s This is from #201, he’s also on #85 The detail in relation to the intrasession timing of higher lactate portion of the session starts at about 2hrs 15

The very short answer seems to be do the lower intensity first. Lactate inhibits lipolysis (plus other stuff), which is one of the things you’re trying to train at the lower intensities.

San Millan seems to have fully legitimate credentials, Prof of physiology at University of Colorado, ex pro cyclist and involved in coaching Tadej Pogačar. There’s nuance and difference in who calls what zone what etc, but my overarching takeaway of everything he says on these two podcasts is that there is overwhelming overlap between everything he & Peter Attia have to say, and what Scott & the team are preaching.

be interested to hear if anyone else has thoughts or real world experience with this to add any nuance etc.

Thanks
Mark
