Form and Recommended Workouts

Armando, thank you very much! also with this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6mco-mJGzw&list=LLsAZ4vvD5nfvgQSSNc1xumw&index=2 it’s more of layman’s approach to understand what “Form” all about. i’m “getting it” thank you again.

Hi! this is a bit dense walk through of the Bannister Model and the variables that Armando mentions. http://fellrnr.com/wiki/Modeling_Human_Performance.

Note that the author says:

There are a number of practical flaws in these models.

  • The main flaw with these models is that the values for the constants used are specific to each individual, and possibly to the particular training regime. The verification of the Banister and Busso models reverse engineered the constants so that the model accurately predicted the performance changes.
  • The values of the constants and the resulting predictions also depend on the performance metric being used.
  • Another flaw is that the models assume a single value for that represents the adaptation to performance. In practice, different types of adaptation occur at different rates.

These are flaws that XERT is addressing! Huzzah!
