Fatigue Profiling - from Allan / Coggan V2

Was revisiting Hunter Allens Fatigue Profile page:

•  http://www.peakscoachinggroup.com/ASPX/FP/FP.aspx

I previously blogged about it here:

•  http://tt-training.blogspot.com/2010/05/fatigue-profiling-from-allan-coggan-v2.html

And there is another writeup at PezCycling:

• http://www.pezcyclingnews.com/?pg=fullstory&id=9001

Tells me a couple of things...

• my L7-Neuromuscular absolute numbers still suck but are a bit higher than last year
• but my endurance at that level is very good, what I can do I can do for a long time 
• which means I'm not "explosive"
• L6-Anaerobic Capacity is similar
• By the time we get to L5-VO2Max the numbers start to look relatively higher and still with good endurance

So if want out sprint anyone I have to go early so that the sprint drags out to 1-2 minutes minimum. So that most other Cat 4's are running out. 

Comparing my numbers to the PezCycling example:

• Much higher L7-Neuromuscular
• Slightly higher L6 Anaerobic Capacity
• Lower L5-VO2Max
• Slightly lower L4-Lactate Threshold

This guy will beat me in a one up sprint up to one minute. But as long as I can stay on his wheel for that minute I should be able to get past him at two minutes.

Alternately if I can jump from behind and get a gap he cannot close in less than about one minute I stand a good chance of staying in front of him. Typically this means going from about 600m (3 laps on the track.)
