Two Levers Rule

PrincipioDe la appSe aplica estrictamente

In any progression cycle, pull intensity OR volume — never both. Pulling both invites catastrophic fatigue and injury.

Enunciado

One lever at a time: intensity OR volume, never both.

Fundamento

CNS adaptations and tissue tolerance follow different timescales. Pulling both at once exceeds either's recovery capacity.

Cómo se incumple

After a strong threshold week (5×1000m at 12.7 km/h), the athlete wants to bump the baseline to 12.5 km/h on the W3 prescription that's already growing the interval to 1500m. The 50% duration increase is the volume lever; speed must hold.
