Thanks so much, Julie. I appreciate the nudge to dive more into gender differences. Will definitely devote some more attention to that through the book.
Looking forward to how this develops! Finding you and Gordo on Twitter has been great fun for this middle aged bop triathlete pursuing fitness and optimal health. I'm thankful for the work you're both doing!
This looks great. For fine tuning for specific events, would you categorize by race length in time or perhaps pace zone? Example faster than vVO2 max, between Vo2max and AnT, and between AnT and AeT.
Thanks Charlie! Great feedback. Yes, definitely something like that in mind - optimizing for events <2min duration, 2-10 min duration, 10-30, 30-90, 90-4hr, >4hr etc. Basically breaking down according to energy system/s & limiters.
Other than CGM, would you consider sharing your experience/thoughts around the use of other devices such a core body temperature and SmO2 sensors in training/racing/lab testing?
Fueling during training (and when not training) to encourage high metabolic fitness (fat oxidation) development. CHO per hour for different intensities and duration of sessions.
I suggest covering nutrition for both health and performance in your book. Gels and bars are often associated with performance, but their impact on health is a separate consideration. Given the abundance of misleading information on this topic, addressing it would be valuable, I think.
Looks great! Two things come to my mind: 1. Continuous Glucose Monitoring - will you cover this? I‘m personally still undecided of its real value apart from possibly checking fueling strategies. 2. Use of data while racing - depending on your sport there is a growing number of real time metrics available. Pace/Power, HR, CGM, how much is too much? I‘m wondering how much focus is lost vs. actionable data gained in endurance events.
Thanks Nicolas! Great suggestions. I've added both to the TOC as a reminder for when I come to those sections. Thanks for the support and the great feedback!
Hi Alan, this is the book I've been waiting for! Very excited to read as you write.
As a 46 year old female age group triathlete I' m interested in:
- where endurance training approach differs for women
- when providing data, also including data for women
- strength training: who should and how to incorporate it in endurance training to be a balanced athlete
That's my wishlist for now ☺️
And thank you for your great work!

Thank you, Jim. That's very kind. I truly appreciate the support.

Sounds great. Really looking forward to this!
As an IT Engineer, I'm looking forward to the dig into the Python code and work on my data.
