James de Lacey joins Richard Graves to challenge how aerobic and anaerobic labels shape conditioning in high-intensity intermittent sports. They discuss recovery between repeated efforts, the distinction between oxygen delivery and muscle oxygen use, and how testing can inform more individual training decisions. James also explains where he sees sprint intervals and low-intensity work fitting alongside the demands of sport practice.
