Match Training To What You Can Sustain
- Find the training style your body tolerates to remain consistent and avoid injury.
- Kilian stopped high-frequency intensity in his teens after injury risk and pursued high-volume, lower-intensity work that matched his physiology.
Base Makes Short Breaks Feel Like A Taper
- Once long-term adaptations exist, short-term reductions can feel like a taper because your baseline biology has changed.
- Kilian noted retired elites can stop serious training yet still win local races due to accumulated adaptations.
Test Specific Metrics Regularly
- Use targeted tests and repeatable sessions to monitor progress and interpret data in context.
- Kilian runs consistent treadmill tests and measures muscle oxygen, metabolism and temperature to track specific adaptations.
