Physiology & Thresholds
- AeT Aerobic threshold — the first lactate threshold, the fat / glucose crossover.
- AnT Anaerobic threshold — the second lactate threshold, the ~1-hour sustainable ceiling.
- ADS Aerobic deficiency syndrome — AeT / AnT ratio too low, intensity gate closed.
- HRV Heart rate variability — the morning recovery signal.
- VO2max Maximum oxygen uptake — the ceiling of aerobic capacity.
- FTP Functional threshold power — the power-meter analog of AnT.
- HR Drift Test 30-minute self-administered protocol to estimate AeT.

Methods
- Daniels' Method VDOT-anchored pace tables and the E / M / T / I / R taxonomy.
- Mountain-Athlete Method AeT-centered, drift-tested, polarized for mountain events.
- Pfitzinger's Method High-mileage marathon training with lactate-threshold quality.
- VDOT Daniels' race-derived proxy for VO2max and its pace tables.
