Lyle McDonald, author among others of The Protein Book
, takes a look at endurance training. On his post he takes a look at the three primary determinants of endurance performance: VO2 max, the functional threshold – lactate threshold – and efficiency. He talks a little bit about each of them trying to find valid primary physiological determinants of endurance performance. Noting – obviously – that there are many other factors which play a role in determining how good will your performance be, he finally gets down to this equation:
Endurance Performance = VO2 max * Functional threshold * Efficiency
Interesting reading that will be complemented with future articles where McDonald will detail each of the determinants and how to train them.
