Evidence Library
The research-backed claims behind TriForward's guides — what we conclude, how strong the evidence actually is, and the real sources, graded and in one place.
A meaningful durability-training dose is smaller than copying a professional's long-ride volume
EmergingDurability Training Dose
Durability is a real, largely separate dimension of endurance performance — but the "independent of fitness" claim is mostly elite-sample evidence
ModerateDurability & Fatigue Resistance
Late-ride power fade is driven by multiple mechanisms at once, not a single cause like glycogen depletion
ModerateDurability & Fatigue Resistance
Short, single-effort durability tests are mostly noise — protocol design matters as much as the result
ModerateDurability Testing & Metrics
The aero-vs-physiological trade-off is real, but elite tolerance for aggressive positions doesn't automatically transfer — and position choices carry into the run
ModerateAerodynamics & Position
Work done above critical power costs disproportionately more fatigue than equivalent work below it
