Document Summary
Important to avoid exercise above prescribed intensity- better to increase distance slightly. Benefits: improved running economy; increased lactate threshold; similar patterns of fiber recruitment seen with racing. Involves easy running (~70% vo2r) combined with either hill work or short, fast bursts of running (~85-90% vo2r) Can also be applied to cycling and swimming by combining lsd training, pace/tempo training; and interval training. Benefits: challenges all physiological systems; may help reduce boredom and monotony associated with daily training; can enhance vo2max , increase lactate threshold, and improve running economy and fuel utilization. Doesn"t really use systematic manipulation of exercise and relief intervals- goes by how the athlete feels . Overload: planned, systematic, and progressive increase in training with the goal of improving performance. Overreaching: unplanned, excessing overload with inadequate rest; typically accompanied by impaired performance in training and competition. Recovery should be possible with a few days.
