You can’t just “incorporate” double threshold. You either do the norweigan, marius bakken, double threshold program/approach from october to may, or you don’t.

Welcome to the 70s Jonathan. Dellinger did it. I did it in high school. Marius Bakken was double pooping, well, wasn't yet born.

When I was a kid we 25x400 at 10k pace and called it a race pace workout. These days it’s a threshold workout. And trying to pack in workouts as you say had a long history.

Bakken though did a great job in making it a lot more rigorous. If that is good or bad is up to you. But there are too many people who see it as perfect versus an evolution that can still be refined and improved.

you realized, of course, lactate meters weren't invented in the 70s, right?

wrong, they're done at 3.5 mmol/L, not pace.

I enjoyed Karissa Schweizer's interview yesterday in the mixed zone. Her longtime Bowerman TC teammates Courtney Frerichs and Elise Cranny left BTC last year but Schweizer chose to stay. I was interested to hear her mention that Jerry Schumacher has started incorporating double thresold training with the team.

"Every year is different with Jerry. He's into long run workouts one year and then the next year, he's like oh we don't do that anymore. I like it though because it keeps you on your toes."

Relevant portion of interview begins at 3:20.

Interesting that Grant and Woody both leave to double T and shorten Jerry’s notoriously long sessions and then Jerry makes the adjustment anyway?
