Daily cardio workout 4.157/3/2023 Looking at the research and the scientific data, we now know that the aerobic system is extremely important to distance running.īut, what is the aerobic system and how does developing it help you run faster (if you’re always running so slow all the time)? What is the Aerobic System?įirst, we need to understand exactly what the aerobic system is and how it relates to easy running.Īt the heart of aerobic training is the scientific fact that to exercise, your body needs to break down sugar and convert it to glycogen so it can be used as energy or fuel. The first step to understanding just how important the aerobic system is to distance running is to identify the percentage of energy contribution the aerobic system provides for races 5k and longer.Īs you can see in this chart, even for a “short” event like the mile, over 80% of the energy required to run the race is produced via aerobic metabolism. In this article, we’re going to examine why the aerobic system is so important, what the aerobic system is, and how to target it in training. The aerobic system, and thus aerobic development, is the one true secret to training and it’s the key to unlocking your potential. The answer to these questions lies in what coaches call the aerobic system. We found that running 80% easy will make most runners 23% faster, which you can read more about if you need the research.Īt RunnersConnect, almost all our new team members ask at some point “why are my easy days so slow” or “how am I supposed to run fast if I am running easy all the time” Yet, most good coaches will tell you to run slow on your easy days and your easy running cadence should be the same as your other runs. Logically, it would make sense that pushing your easy run pace as close to race pace as possible would help you get fitter quicker and ultimately run faster.Īfter all, the harder you work the better you get, right? Wouldn’t running all your miles as close to 9 minute-pace as possible make more sense? If you want to run a marathon at 9 minutes-per-mile, how does running 5-8 miles slow, or even your entire long run, at 10:30 pace help you? I give it a 3 (□ □ □) out of 5 for gentleness.A common question, and one of the more difficult concepts of training to comprehend, is “how do easy runs help me race faster”. I enjoyed today and it had a nice pace to the treadmills and floor work. With the reverse lunge to single leg squat you are holding on to the TRX so don’t be afraid to go a bit deeper and use the straps to help you get up. The finisher today is 30 seconds of tricep pushups. I didn’t mind all the exercises today and found that the blocks went by pretty quickly. We have halos, scaptions, good mornings, upper cuts, alligators, tricep kick backs and goblet transverse squats. Good distance on the treadmill today with 4.49km (2.81 miles).įor the floor you have a rowing buy-in for each block but that is all the rowing you will get to do. The last block should feature your fastest all out speeds. My suggestion is to go a little more conservative on the first efforts and then edge up the speed as you progress through the blocks. Definitely the hardest effort is the first which is a 75 second push to 1 minute all out and then only a 30 second walking recovery before the next all out. The all outs start at 1 minute for the first block and the last block has 30 second efforts. The walking recoveries between rounds start at 30 seconds and increase 15 seconds with each effort so your last all out will have you recovering for a minute before attempting your best speed of the block. You then have three other attempts in the block to try and improve on your all out speeds. Only a few power rows and I liked all the moves on the floor.įor the treadmill you always start with a 75 second push buy-in straight into an all out. #Friday 15 April 2022 - (es)P 2G 60 minutesĪfter yesterday’s disappointing rabbit themed 3G session (so many hops!) today is a much better 2G template with focus on power on the treads and rowers.
