Jay Vine recently said in an interview that last year his max hours per week was 30 and that wasn’t training, it was a big week in a grand tour. His coach at least seems to be on a mid 20s hours a week approach.

Jay implied this was a change throughout the peloton, but you can still see old school strategies doing well (Bernal for example does huge volume in base from strava).

One key thing to remember is that humans can't do much more than 30 hours per week of exercise because they can't consume sufficient calories to compensate.

It has come to the point that tweaking nutrition science to feed athletes better so they can train more is a key aspect of the ultra endurance training (e.g. the Norwegian Iron Men around Olaf Alexander Bu).

That's 4 hours of activity a day. That can't be true. I do that. I should be fading away then but hover at the same weight.
