Curious if you have an opinion on "fat adaptive" training? Although it is an interesting concept that many think is new. I beg to differ. When I was much younger, I trained fasted but not on purpose. My version of "fat-adapted" training was simply called "...being a poor student...". IMHO, it is like training to crash a bike... its going to happen but why train for something so unpredictable? Although I must admit, I "KINDA" know my limits of min. calorie consumption BUT the impact on my results are all over the place. It appears to me the impact is extremely dependent on not only your age, body weight, and fitness level but also daily changes/shifts in your metabolism, hormones, sleep, and neurological/muscular impacts of any inflammation. Fasting training that worked ... say, yesterday ... may not work the next day. Or, you could go a few weekends where fasted training helped for one training block and then fail miserably the next. From my experience, "fat--adaptive" training is far too unpredictable as to its impact - both positive and negative. Perhaps adaptive training is just an off-shoot of attempting to approach an optimal race weight and not necessarily an end onto itself.
I've found I get enough depletion training even when I fuel appropriately. So I don't need to go out of my way. However, my fat burning has always been good when we tested. Athletes who test with poor fat burning can make interventions such as carb periodization, or eating breakfast after their first session of the day. I'm not keen on longer fasted sessions as i find they lead to rebound overeating from excessive depletion. For everyone, I think the most effective interventions are what happens when we are not training, which is most of the time. G

Your regular reminder that EVERYTHING is trainable 👏
True!
I train on pork pies and sausage rolls 😜🤣
