Not meaning to bang on the old skool thing, but I just wondered if anyone had any info on this.
I came across this while reading:
'...rides of 3, 4 or 5 hours are traditionally recommended, but new research suggests that any LSD ride less than 6 hours will not actually increase the body’s ability to store glycogen nor increase stamina any more than a 2 hour ride would. the research suggests that the body can gain just as much benefit from shorter, more intense rides (such as the Hour of Power [HOP] and High Intensity Interval Training [HIIT])...' - LSD vs. HIIT
I'm not so much interested in the comparison of LSD to HIIT, but rather the LSD duration threshold. If doing 3, 4 or 5 hour rides isn't any better than 2, and you have to do 6 to get the effect, that would fundamentally change the way I do things.
Thoughts?
Any idea of the 'new research' he refers to?
Thanks,
Dave
