This works well for winning in sport & life, one day at a time:
1. Specificity means choice: you can’t be specific by choosing everything.
2. The aerobic engine is non-negotiable: without a base, everything collapses.
3. The bike is a metabolic weapon: find tools that build you up, not break you down.
4. Think in multiple years, not some: mastery takes cycles, not quick fixes.
5. Recovery is training: stress only works if you rest enough to absorb it.
6. Monotony is a weapon: repetition builds confidence and resilience.
7. Pacing is brutal self-control: wait until it counts.
8. Peaking is a risk, not a right: save your best for when it truly matters.
9. Joy is the only renewable fuel: without joy, you burn out; with it, you endure.
10. Cut the noise: more isn’t better; only better is better.

Low intensity volume is the worst content and the best training.

VO₂max is not the whole story.
I’ve been showing this slide for the last 15 years.
Same athlete, 2 years apart.
VO₂max? Essentially unchanged.
Performance? From average to one of the best.
What changed was lactate!.
VO₂max reflects cardiorespiratory adaptations to exercise, the size of the engine: heart, lungs, and oxygen delivery.
Lactate reflects how efficiently that engine runs: mitochondrial function, cellular metabolism, substrate utilization, and metabolic flexibility.
At the same workload, markedly lower lactate indicates greater mitochondrial efficiency and improved lactate clearance capacity. In other words, better metabolism.
In elite sport, we’ve known for decades that VO₂max does not discriminate among top performers. Many athletes share similar VO₂max values, yet those with superior mitochondrial function are the ones who win. That difference is metabolic efficiency, and we assess it through lactate testing, not VO₂max testing.
Suddenly VO₂max is being crowned as the gold standard for longevity. But metabolic health is one of the main focuses of longevity. If that is the case, the most meaningful marker should also be metabolic and Lactate provides a more precise window into mitochondrial function. Furthermore, unlike VO₂max, Lactate allows us to individualize and prescribe exercise with accuracy, something we’ve been doing with athletes for decades

1. First build capacity, then ask for resources.
If you don’t build capacity first, resources will only expose you.
Build the engine before you press the accelerator.
If there is depth, resources expand your capacity if not they revel your fragility.
2. Performance is behavioral, not an expression and not your identity
Your race is an expression. Performance is behavior under pressure.
You are neither your race nor your performance.
Identity is built in the daily process: in the work, in the discipline and in the repetition.
You build capacity = consistent work.
You test capacity in competition = expression.
Behavior, repeated daily = performance.
Performance is how you behave.
Identity is who you become in the process.

You don’t need more information.
You need to integrate what you already know into a simple, actionable system.
