Then at around 27:00 some data (kind of hard to figure out) is presented that says that even at much lower levels of training this same 'way more easy stuff' seems to work. It is hard to tell exactly what those levels are in that part of the presentation as total time was stated but not over what time period, but way less than 20 hours per week I feel sure.

I really wish that I had a text version of this thing - I think that it is pretty good stuff. Thanks for posting.

Here is a PDF of the study on which some of the talk was based:
