Its an exponential decrease, not a linear one. I think thats the right terminology? Maybe? Those are math-y words, so it must be right.

Logarithms are sorta like reverse exponents ;) At least, that's the best way I can think to put it without getting "math-y." For something like this, I assume it is a type of log or ln being used.

Actually, wozzvt did some analysis, and that suggested that the rapid part of the fall off doesn't really start until 45-46 minutes. At those points, it's probably 95% of training. THen there's a big drop off from 40-45 minutes, and by 35 minutes or so you're getting just 50% of training.

Is that posted somewhere? It sounds like an interesting read to the numbers guy in me.

Lemme see if I can dig it up. Should be somewhere on the USA offsite. Join up if you're not already there, and the numbers guy in you will have plenty to feast on for a long time.

Well, from a training perspective, 90 minutes is better than 42. But 90 minutes isn't any different than 48. Once you get to 48+, there's no further increase in training.

And of course, 90 minutes is gonna be bad for gameshape.

Okay, I was asking from a game shape prospective, is the answer still the same?

As far as game shape goes, there really isn't a right answer there. Both are most likely going to cause drops in GS. One is not really better than the other
