Names can deceive us as you hear in the previous post,
previous video, Saul Kassin: "False
Confessions". Once you have a
confession, the entire thinking of the judges changes even if what you see as a
witness was something else. The observer
is influenced by the confession to the point of changing the entire view of the
events. Naming has the same effect in
our way of thinking. Words are attached
to something big depending on one´s idiosyncrasy. That big thing is made of thoughts,
images and “coordinates” (how we understand the world so one locates oneself in
it). We will use a verb or a description
instead of the name; “the name is not the thing named.”
Nicholas
Romanov, (Pose Method) told me once: “Periodization was invented by the Russians
40 years back, and we also decided to leave it 15 years after because it was
not useful.” I would change the name of
periodization for “life time commitment to excellence” where the period is a
life time. How to program ourselves for
life would be the question instead of how to do a periodization for the
year? “Life time commitment to
excellence” takes the place of the word periodization for sports that should
start very early in life to have the option of being successful, as it is the
case of gymnastics, swimming or triathlon.
You have to prepare your body-mind for decades to be able to train hard
enjoying the process.
In
individual sports, we have training curves helpful to have a plan, “life time
commitment to excellence.” Paul Bergen mentioned
once: “When Inge de Bruijn came back to training after several month hiatus and
less than two years before the Athens Olympics, I told her that she was not
going to be ready for the 200 meters.
She needed to do just a 100. I
worked for that distance because we did not have time for the 200; we worked on
her strength/weight for that distance.”
All the distance runners are and were very fast runners in 400 and 800
meters; below 1:50 for the 800 meters; and the champions for 10,000 meters are near
that time running the last 800 meters of an important race. That is a benchmark if you want to be a
champion after 20 years of age, running the 10,000 or longer. It is just a benchmark, nothing else, if you
are looking to be a champion. That
benchmark is a warranty that you are doing a good job. Usain Bolt does not run the 400 meters
because he does not train for it and hardly can run below 46 seconds that
distance. Of course, he could be the
best 400 meters runner but he needs more psychological-educational training to
start training for that distance, and surely, his 100 meters could suffer. We have a limited number of fibers/weight and
training should be specific depending in the distance we want to compete in.
When
looking at the juniors competing in triathlon, they have almost or the same
speed as the elite athletes have; but they cannot double the time when competing
at the same speed. The elites winning
the Olympic distance triathlon are generally the winners doing the sprints; so
they have the speed to do both. This reasoning is
simple logic following Aristotle, nothing great. Ironman winners cannot win Olympic distance
triathlon and sometimes they cannot even compete in Olympic distance triathlon
because they do not have the speed.
Therefore, Olympic distance and sprint distance triathlons have a
different speed preparation compare to Ironman distance.

Applying simple physics to daily life, we know that a
conductor with lots of filaments is better than a single filament conductor
with the same volume.
The ampacity of a conductor, that is, the amount
of current it can carry, is related to its
electrical resistance: a lower-resistance conductor can carry a larger value of
current. The resistance, in turn, is determined by the material the conductor
is made from (as described above) and the conductor's size. For a given material, conductors with a
larger cross-sectional area have less resistance than conductors with a smaller
cross-sectional area http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_conductor
...Bundle conductors are used to increase the amount of current
that may be carried in a line. Due to the skin
effect, ampacity
of conductors is not proportional to their cross section, for the larger sizes.
Therefore, bundle conductors may carry more current for a given weight. A
bundle conductor also has lower reactance,
compared to a single conductor. It reduces corona
discharge loss at extra
high voltage (EHV) and interference with communication
systems. It also reduces voltage gradient
in that range of voltage. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundle_conductor#Bundle_conductors
We know that a silk rope is better than any type of
rope to tolerate humidity and force to hold a ship because of the number of
filaments per square centimeter. Our
muscles are limited in number of fibers and there is a correlation between
force/weight and endurance. If you train
force, your muscles are not fit for endurance and vice versa; there is a
limited number of fibers in muscles. Our training should optimize the
development of the fibers needed for our competition. Are you an ironman or an ITU competitor? That is why Ivan Raña won Cozumel this year
but could not do much in the ITU circuit.
Depending on how good our competitors are we have success or not; but the
better our competitors are, the more specific our training should be if we want
to win.
Gennadi Tourestki says that “we need 10,000 hours in
the water to discover talent.” Those 10,000 hours need to be within the frame
of “life time commitment to excellence.” Are the kids doing those hours to prepare for the “real
training”? Technique is the other
variable to improve efficiency in triathlon.
Raña can run a 2:38 in the marathon of the ironman with the 31:00 he is
able to run in the 10k of the Olympic triathlon. He went 2:44 in Cozumel.
