A better comparison is maybe sprinters training to run faster by running flat out downhill. In that case you’re using external energy (gravity) to exceed what your body believed was your top speed and so teach it a new greater one.Probably not. When I was not much younger, I'm 67, I would go on a running machine and run for miles at a not too telling pace, but I would always have a minute of "Linford Christie" and get away with it, just.
One day I went double Linford for three minute, it definitely did not feel like a step forward afterwards.
