80/20 training is a staple in endurance training circles. The risk is, with all of the focus on optimized methods, that we forget how to adapt in a way that preserves good fundamentals when our situation doesn’t allow for “optimal.” A recent study by researchers in Italy set out to test how essential 80/20 training really is to making progress. Their results will probably surprise you.
The implicit assumption is that all of those mitochondria are created equal. That’s where a new paper by Mikael Flockhart and colleagues at the Swedish School of Sports and Health Science in Stockholm picks up. If not all mitochondria are the same, then what exactly do the bad ones look like, and how do we avoid them?
