Haha oh yeah I remember now, that thread's how I came across the podcast! Circular web.
I have bookmarked this as I only got chance to listen to the first 20 mins the other day. I have also bought the new book, based on positive reviews on the thread on here, but it's a weighty tome so I'm still my working through itThe point they raise early on in the interview has stuck with me... they state that most people (i.e. me!) are doing too much of moderate level activity and not anywhere near enough high intensity. This sums up my go the the wall and potter about approach to training. I keep a log but it's historical only and so from what I've read so far I am genuinely excited to plan a periodic training schedule and see what's possible
What is it about their nutrition advice that is awful? And what it is about their advice on aerobic fitness that is so bad?
They also seem completely ignorant of the fact that they started as high level athletes which confounds this "evidence" that they have accumulated from their own experience.
I'm not sure how you can prove or disprove your second point. The training advice/plans they've created are based on solid evidence, people will make greater or lesser gains based on a whole number of variables including what you said.

the opinions expressed regarding weight loss, intramuscular glycogen and diet in the podcast did not sound well thought out, advocating unsustainable faddy practices unlikely to produce healthy sustainable low body weight or quality session fitness on projects.
