and it actually has to do with actually how oxygen is being prioritized in the body because we have to limit we have to consider two things here it's easy to think that while you're only racing at 80% of your V2 Max or 70 or 90 whatever percentage it is of your V2 Max but that's a little bit of a short circuit because what we have to think of is that this oxygen like more oxygen is going to contribute to more heat as well so it's not like you can just go whatever I'm racing at a solo percentage of a V2 mix so I can go whatever and do and in the beginning because it always will accumulate towards the end of your race that means already from the beginning it's critical how you pace and your efficiency as well because every inefficiency you have either it's biochemical anything like this it will basically end up towards the end of the race so this means also that at the moment you start let's say putting any other uh substrates into or nutrients into your mixture that the body have to prioritize somehow in the system that means also that there going to be less oxygen available for Pure propulsion and in the end it's a pure propulsion that really sets the winner apart from the rest of the people there so you basically want to peel away every absolutely everything that doesn't contribute to Pro to to forward propulsion use every milliliter every mole of oxygen purely for that purpose and nothing else because oxygen is one of the limitations
