The 10% Rule Applies to Your Long Run, Not Your Week | Research Roundup
August 06, 2026
Daniel Rowland and Mikael are back for another research roundup with four recent studies. What blood biomarkers do and do not tell you about training load in elite triathletes, why two athletes with the same VO2max can have very different thresholds, what actually predicts running injuries in a cohort of 5,200 runners, and whether supersets deliver the same strength gains in a third less gym time. HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS: VLaMax (maximal glycolytic flux) and metabolic thresholds: the firs...

HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS: The real difference between FTP-centr...
