The Real Problem
It's not a motivation problem. It's a clarity problem.
Most runners don't fail because they lack effort. They fail because their training has no fixed reference points.
Easy runs drift too hard
"Threshold" becomes a guess
Sessions feel hard — progress stalls
Without anchors, you're just guessing. And guessing doesn't compound.
The Anchor Pyramid
A physiology-first training model where anchors form the base of everything above them.
LT1
First Lactate Threshold
Where easy actually stays easy. The ceiling of your aerobic base — cross it, and recovery suffers.
Critical Speed
LT2 / Threshold
Where threshold stops being a guess. The boundary between sustainable and unsustainable effort.
vVO₂max
Maximum Aerobic Velocity
Where hard work has a real ceiling. The speed at which you hit your aerobic limit.
Anchors define intent. Intent guides execution. Execution produces a response. The response updates the anchors.
No guessing. No blind repetition.
