Episode notes
Choose Consistency Over Short Intensity Spikes
- Favor consistency over chasing maximal intensity or leaderboard points; long-term steady progress compounds like investments.
- Aim for sustainable returns (Warren Buffett style) rather than short, risky spikes that harm longevity.
Train To Come Back Tomorrow
- Prioritize training so you can come back tomorrow: use minimum effective dose and avoid overloading one session.
- Structure weekly undulations (e.g., strength, VO2 max, different strains) so each day is recoverable yet effective.
Use Pace Consistency To Find Your Threshold
- Measure pacing not perceived exertion: ask if each round or interval held the same pace to know you hit threshold without burning out.
- If final rounds allow a small kick, you hit it; big slowdowns mean you started too hard.
