So I have been studying this chart and have a couple of questions. What do the arrows for each phase Easy, Aerobic, Anaerobic signify?

Dr. Couzens - is saying that time at stamina and time for uptake via gut training is the 4th dimension towards high performance?

Hey Steven,

Have a listen to this video as a starting point:

Also, give Chapter 1 a read - specifically, the section on the Third Framework, Work Capacity

Then circle back with any specifics and I'll be happy to answer.

When I write about "time being the 4th dimension" - it is because our zones, and performances, change across time. Our capacity changes as the workout, or race, extends.

Thanks,

Gordo
