this research on humans show that mitochondria in fast-twitch muscles are different than slow twitch ones; they respond much more robustly due to succinate dynamics.

Interested to know of any resources where the training practicalities for fast vs. slow twitch are discussed.
Particularly the example of a fast-twitch athlete trying to train for endurance events e.g. long Gran Fondo etc. Would you bias anything in particular?

Nice one thanks. I did end up finding this whole theme of ‘what your glycolytic bias is’. Turns out I was searching for the wrong thing.
This is a great summary, appreciate it
