"There are an awful lot of variables that aren't being discussed"
The original question posted for this thread asked about "peak" fitnees for a given subject with respect to bicycling. The Master's website does a great job of describing just such a scenario......
Then, several posters inferred or otherwise "made up" answers as if their comments had a basis in physiology..... Then I stated that their comments are ridiculous.
To anyone interested, you can and "will be" all you can be physiologically, in any 2 or 3 year period of devoted to training. The fact that professional athletes performance increases after this period is a reflection of continued refinement of the training stimulus. Not the ACCUMULATION of years of training.
In other words, in they had discovered the "perfect" training regime in the first place, they would have "gotten there" in the first 2-3, maybe 4 year period......
I'm not teaching you anymore. I've had it. Maybe I'll check back in a couple of months.

[edit: I know I shouldn't spar with trolls, but I couldn't resist with this one.]

Just ride.
Since RC won't be back for a while, I guess there's no point in responding to him. I haven't been on this site that much of late, but I don't ever recall him being a troll. Somebody must have pooped in his cornflakes. Anyhow, he has some unique perspectives but didn't provide much in the way of sources. Maybe he is a researcher? No way to know if he's published since we don't know his real name.
Anybody know the "Masters web-site" he refers to? Did he mean the site Terry cited in his first response?
