This audio overview, titled "Raise Your Ceiling or Raise the Roof," provides a deep dive into the Athletic Architecture model used by QT2 Systems to determine an athlete's ideal training focus. The episode explores the critical relationship between an athlete's sustainable threshold - their "ceiling" - and their absolute high-end capacity - their "roof". The discussion centers on how the ratio between Critical Power/Speed and power/speed at VO2 Max defines an athlete's physiological state and dictates which of two primary training paths will offer the highest return on training investment: Raising the Ceiling: The hosts explain that for athletes in an Anaerobic physiological state (ratio < 85%), the "attic space" is too large. In these cases, the priority is a Build/TH block designed to lift the ceiling closer to the roof, making more of the athlete's existing capacity usable for longer durations. Raising the Roof: Conversely, for athletes in an Aerobic physiological state (ratio > 88%), the "attic" has beco
