great read and great attitude, but saying "anyone could do it if they just worked as hard as me" is so banal. You're training 33 hours on a bike in a week --- most people who try that will just break down. Then you transition to extended periods of time at 400 watts --- most people couldn't hold that for 5 minutes no matter how hard they trained. Obviously hard work is good but you still need to be a genetic outlier.

- vincentkriek 5y agoI think this is the key to genetic success. When you are able to train this much you get results. It´s not that you are genetically able to skate fast, it´s that you are genetically able to train on a level that you can get there. I get his feeling specified in the intro where he states he does not (want) to believe his success is only a result of genetics. The effort put in to it matters a lot. It´s the the genetics that allow for such high volume and intense training

If you would like to try something similar it will be necessary to ease into it and increase the training load carefully and wisely, but also rapidly. Do not forget to stick to the Limit. If you do, I am confident that you will be able to perform the same program as I did and perhaps exceed my results. To get his results you need to be a few standard deviations away from the middle in terms of raw talent, time available, and picking a good training plan. He can't help you with the first two, but it's very cool that he is giving up his secrets on that third one.
