Nice piece - the science, and the debunking of some myths, continues to evolve.

As an older person, main competition days behind but plenty of quality runs and rides ahead, I feel mentally and physically challenged by these approaches. Ready for the challenges, although wondering whether I let the science take on a higher profile when seeking the emotional wellbeing of being there and doing something to the edge?

Physiology fitting with the psychological elements of how each of us draws energy?
