The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
by the way do experience increases in V2 Max just from Base building um aerobic activity so um if you take a person who's completely deconditioned and you put them into just a Zone 2 program and you slowly add duration um and frequency to that and then you retest their V2 Max it'll be higher even if theyve never done a single interval
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
