Application of Conditioning

3 Key Physiological Factors to improve with Training:

1. VO2 max
2. Anaerobic Threshold
3. Running Economy

Premise of Training:

Interval Training (Improve VO2 max):

Maximise time spent at VO2 max each session. Active recovery stabilises heart rate and time at V02 max. Static recovery is should be considered with higher intensities (>100% MAS).

Threshold Training (Improve VO2 max and Anaerobic Threshold):

With threshold-intensity running, the physiological benefit is to improve endurance: the ability to endure a greater and greater intensity of effort for a longer and longer period of time.

Continuous Training (Improve VO2 max and Running Economy):

Maximise time spent at VO2 max each session. Active recovery stabilises heart rate and time at V02 max. Static recovery is should be considered with higher intensities (>100% MAS).

3 Types of Aerobic Training:

With threshold-intensity running, the physiological benefit is to improve endurance: the ability to endure a greater and greater intensity of effort for a longer and longer period of time.

Aerobic Training: For developing Aerobic Energy System Development, there are 3 main types of training
