TCG,

""""""""""Have no need to add intensity for just now Huff""""""""""

Wasn't suggesting that you should add it now;-) Just wanted to encourage you that more improvements are to be had:) By all means you should be very happy with what you are accomplishing just now.

Just been reading that you should build base; then do no more than 10 weeks speedwork; go back to building base again.... repeat ;-)

FR - I used to think like that but for me it was 8 weeks.

Even in the base phase now i would do 1 session a week quality, but i guess that goes against the grain here

That 10 weeks of speed work sounds very Lydiard, however he had no concept of HR training when he first penned his training theory.

About This Thread

Maintained by Elderberry
Everything you need to know about training with a heart rate monitor. Remember the motto "I can maintain a fast pace over the race distance because I am an Endurance God". Mind the trap door....

Gobi lurks here, but for his advice you must first speak his name. Ask and you shall receive.

A quote:

"The area between the top of the aerobic threshold and anaerobic threshold is somewhat of a no mans land of fitness. It is a mix of aerobic and anaerobic states. For the amount of effort the athlete puts forth, not a whole lot of fitness is produced. It does not train the aerobic or anaerobic energy system to a high degree. This area does have its place in training; it is just not in base season. Unfortunately this area is where I find a lot of athletes spending the majority of their seasons, which retards aerobic development. The athletes heart rate shoots up to this zone with little power or speed being produced when it gets there." Matt Russ, US International Coach
