    Q, two things if you don't mind. First, I'd like to challenge you a bit on the physiology side. I do not think that sprint can be considered as a substitute for aerobic work. Not with performance in mind. To a very narrow extent, it does for untrained subjects, as the study quoted earlier by Linsday tried to demonstrate, but that's about it. Not sure if it's what you meant in your previous statement though. I may have read it wrong (as usual). Then, would you mind providing me (total dumb in physics) a practical example on how to apply your point system? It'd help me building my excel spreadsheet. I think I understand how to build the core function, but I have no clue on how to use your lookup table :confused: *edit* Ran a few calculations. Well done. It's holding the road in a lot of circumstances. I still do not know how to use the table though. That probably explains the following issue that I am getting. How would you input a single 1500 bout done in 20min? I tried 1*(91.44/1200)^3*1200, which doesn't work obviously. I am probably getting this 91.44 constant wrong? Is this where the lookup table comes in?
