Thanks Scott! Those articles were helpful, and I’ll continue to study your book, which I sleep next to every night but I guess the learning doesn’t happen by osmosis. 🙂 I certainly didn’t mean to imply that I want to break the rules and still get the benefits of the program. I’m really just looking for some general guidlines as to what is/is not ok outside of the training plan. How do I ensure that the rest of my day doesn’t tap into my bank account? I’m very committed to the plan, so I’m willing to sacrifice short-term fun and performance to get the long-term benefits. But I can’t imagine that your athletes spend the the 22 hours of a Saturday that they are not training sitting on the couch. How do I know what is “breaking the rules” and tapping into Utilization? I certainly realize that training is a combination of science and art, and without 1:1 coaching it’s up to me to provide the art, but I’d love any insight you can offer into what heart-rate zones, recovery parameters, or RPE levels are conducive to the Capacity-building process.
