Complexity is like energy. It cannot be created or destroyed, only moved somewhere else (Tesler‘s Law). The human body is too complex to understand without ambiguity. But November is not the month to chase numbers but a time to recharge and practice patience.

Very interested in the maximum sustainable energy expenditure model mentioned by @olavaleksander . A simple physical concept but hard to apply in practice. How do you quantify the 'energy budget' (isn't it a moving target?) + how do you quantify the daily 'debt' or margin?

Btw, you don’t win races by having the most perfect heart rate. HR-to-pace is a good indicator of fitness but can be deceiving when you’re fatigued (or very fresh, on the other side of the spectrum). Don’t obsess about it. *note to self Cc @triathlonlachie @peter__leo 😂🙏
