It goes both ways, training is both Easy & Complex. If we are into starting phase meaning we have started any activity we need not focus on zones as our first priority should be we should have the drive to do it for at least couple of years to see some significant gains in physiology. And yeah at the start every kind of training works as a stimuli, it comes after a couple of months or one can say a couple of years as well when they need to focus on 1% improvement markers. Fundamental is the key meaning putting in the work, nutrition during the workout & for the whole day for months on and recovery in terms of sleep. Sticking to basics does wonders but in this era of information overload & easy access to it, we are focusing firstly to 1% improvement markers rather than 99%.
Hey Sudhanshu, thanks for your thoughtful comment. I agree that building the habit is the foundation. There’s a big difference between what the average person needs and what someone chasing high performance needs; however, in both cases, consistency is key. And to stay consistent, we have to manage intensity, as well as recovery and nutrition, just like you said. The basics are the basics for a reason!
