And to expand a little, a question I have is this. Let's say I do a workout that would lead to a certain adaptation and if I wait to stress that system until that adaptation is fully realized, it would create a benefit of magnitude 1. How would the magnitude of the benefit for doing the next workout before I'm fully adapted compare to doing it fully adapted (assuming I'm rested enough to perform the effort)? In other words if the first workout create a benefit of 1, would doing a second workout soon after create a benefit of 2, more than 2, less than 2?
I think it depends on the intensity and what else one does during the 2 weeks surrounding the experiment. I don't think there's a simple answer. And "soon after" is too vague. But we'd all love to know your experimental results!
