kon tiki - Mini research
Science. test, intervention retest. A protocol that has driven humanity to send rockets to other planets and create flying cars.
I have in longer time wanted to do some mini-research on training programing with a group of athletes.
I have lived 22 years, and trained most of it. It has been a lot of really great sessions, but also some shit ones. Nevertheless I have learned a lot. Especially in the last few years, a Bchs in sport science, hundreds of hours at lab and conversations with athletes from multiple sports, combined with a deep curiosity in research and historical training systems have given me some really special and unique insights.
Combining some winning formulas from the Norwegian sport world with how many of the fittest athletes in endurance sport trains today, you can close in on a strategy that is very unique and physiological.
But still very theoretical.
I will therefore try to assemble 6-12 athletes, the more the better to join a (1) 4.5 week training program, with opportunity to join for an extra 4 weeks if they feel that it gives them a massive edge.
The X number of athletes will be split in 3 groups, controlled for training status.
Traditional endurance training 2-3 intervals a week. One VO2max , one threshold.
Visma training/norwegian model double threshold.
NEW approach with secret intensity zones.
(4) Maybe a group with the trendy heavy z2 approach used by many endurance persons. If enough participants.
Total training load will be the same.
If you know someone or want to participate yourself as an early winter training challenge , send me a message. It will be 50% from my usual price on coaching, so you get 1 month for 90 euro, with a plan for 4 weeks and test protocols( tough one).
I think it will be a really cool challenge, maybe you get a lot of progression with a new training method on the post test. I will try to make groups so the athletes also can talk together about their training, or ask questions if there is any .
See ya
