Dr. Seiler, ... However, like much of the world, we are now out of the water. I have been trying to apply similar principles polarization in our dryland training now, which mostly consists of running, biking and bodyweight exercises at home and I (along with many other coaches I assume) constantly ask myself "is this the right approach?" or "is this enough?" or "what else can I be doing?" It is in the spirit of my questioning that I scour the internet on a daily basis looking for answers, and ultimately, why I am reaching out to you. Do you have an opinion of "cross-training" effects with correct polar/periodization? How much of the sports that we coach have "sport-specific endurance" that cannot be replaced by even the greatest and most extensive cross-training program? If sport-specific endurance exists, what does it look like and are there ways to triangulate a series of physiological adaptations to best simulate it? What is the best way for athletes to maintain the physiological gains they have made in a period where practice is impossible?
