I suppose there will always be different methods, and differing advice.
But then there are different things that people want to train for.
I'm guessing the commuter who wants to lose his belly, the improving Cat 3 racer and the seasoned track sprinter all have different aims and should train differently.
From what I know about cricket, and to some extent, football, teams who succeed do not have "off seasons" or long training breaks. They play all the fucking time, at a high level.
I've a hunch that little-and-often resting is more effective than a big lump and the associated tapering.
(that last bit is not about hippy's bowel movements! )
