Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Busy thread :-)

I read the Hadd Training document awhile back and alot of the ideas clicked with me. I agree with Boab on running itself being a good way of avoiding injuries though trying dislike the idea of forcing a change of technique unneccessarily.
In my opinion the body is lazy and will if possible always take the easiest way of doing something so if you train it regulary with varied running it will naturally become more efficient. Is the end point the same as where POSE will get you I don't know , but I believe POSE is taking the end point and working backwards which is not always the right thing to do.

Boab - sub LT for 90mins ??? my understanding is Lactate Theshold is between 10k and 10mile (at the most half) pace.

It's not at lactate threshold Joe, it's sub LT, just under it. The idea being (like happy panda put so well) that training at this intensity pushes the lactate threshold up.

Your LT is what ever the hell it is, everyones is different. You can't say "well it's between this and this pace" in such generic terms, if you'd read the Hadd training piece you'd know that, a lot of people's paces don't correlate at all and lack of correct training in what Hadd etc push is what causes that.

Also agree with Panda regarding thrashing out intervals. When I last did them I could knock out 6 x 5:10 miles on the track with a couple of minutes rest, but couldn't break 35 minutes for 10K......running them to fast? You bet I was.

Aye, my own lactate threshold was tested at around 6:10 - 6:15 pace back in Feb this year. I am well aware that these tests are subjective....

Sorry was reading it wrong . When you said sub LT I was thinking pace not speed. ie 5:30 pace not 6:00

HP - Agreed a person with slanted training (or genetic preference) can run a 10K at a lot better relative pace than their mara or the other way round, but in either case their lactate theshold remains at a pace that they can hold for a max of an hour which in the vast majority is between 10K and 10M.

SPR™
Most people seem to think intervals mean running as fast as you can...

Very true SPR. Or running them at a pace they want to achieve over the distance being trained for, rather than the pace they can actually run the distance at.
