“What we see of the real world is not the
unvarnished real world but a model of the real
world, regulated and adjusted by sense data- a
model that is constructed so that it is useful for
dealing with the real world”
Richard Dawkins
S
“Oversimplifications…cut through the
hideous complexity with a working
model that is almost right, postponing
the messy details until later”
Dan Dennett
What is Endurance?
S “cardiovascular endurance, aerobic fitness, or stamina, is
the ability to exercise continuously for extended periods
without tiring.”
S “ability to exert itself and remain active for a long period
of time, as well as its ability to resist fatigue.”
S “Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle or group of
muscles to sustain repeated contractions against a
resistance for an extended period of time.”
Extension
S Metabolic- Aerobic quicker/longer?
S Biomechanical- maintain stride rate/length
S Neural- maintain muscle recruitment/force into ground
Sprinting is Endurance!?!
S Ground contact times lengthen
S Force into ground drops
S Stride length/rate change.
Simple Integrated Model of
Fatigue
1. Products of fatigue build up
2. The brain monitors this increase in fatigue products
3. If things look bleak, Brain regulates how hard we
can work via changing muscle recruitment
4. We get tired, slow down, become less efficient.
S Can train to:
S Delay buildup of these products thus delaying brain’s signal
to shut down
S Delay signal from brain to “shut down and protect” by
proving you can safely handle slightly more of that product.
S Increase maximum amount of these products that can be
accumulated or lost before the brain starts shutting things
down.
S Increase psychological drive/how much we care.
Endurance? How?
What a COACH needs to figure out:
S The training adaptation we are looking for.
S What stimulus leads to that adaptation?
S How much is enough?
S Event Demands
S Not ONLY metabolic/energy system
S How it’s used more important
S Psychological/Cognitive
S What decisions have to be made?
S What/when are the psychological stressors
S Neural/Biomechanical
What are you working with?
800m- 1:49.90 1:48.40 1:49.1 1:49.081:49.33
400m- 48.2 49+ 49.5+ 47.8+ 48.1
XC-didn’t make conf. 4th in conf. 3:56.45mile 9th XC conf. 25th conf.
Mechanics:
Power stride “sits” finesse/long varies power
S How to tell?
S Lactate testing
S Max lactate (after 400-600m)
S 18+= very FT (expect mid distance or shorter)
S Strengths vs. Weaknesses
S FT- sprints, short intervals
S ST- Long Runs, tempos
S PR comparison
S Power testing
S Standing broad jump
S 25m one legged jumps for distance
S Stride mechanics
S Elastic and reactive VS. flat and “grinder”
Individualization
S Indoors- “traditional”
800/1500m training
S Results:
S Sucked
S (4:07mi)
S Outdoors- 5k/3k runner with
“spices” of speed
S Results:
S 1:48.40 800m (school
record)
S How much, hard, often?
S 50mpw or 100mpw?
S 2,3,4 interval workouts per week?
S 10x400s at 65 or 15x400s at 65?
How to decide?
Don’t go somewhere until you need to go somewhere.
S Do you NEED 100mpw now to improve to a necessary degree?
S How hard?
S “Being "in the zone" for maximum adaptability occurs when your perception of your ability to cope with a challenge is greater by some optimum amount than your perception of the difficulty of the challenge.” (Gershon Tenenbaum)
Where do they come from?
S CLEAN SLATE
S ANYTHING is a stimulus
S 10+ years of training
S What direction do you need
to go?
S How can you provide new
stimulus
VS.
Tools
S 10x400 in 60 with 60sec recovery…
S faster?
S Rest?
S Rep length longer?
S Volume?
S Density?
S Add extra work (strength, exercises, etc)
S Environment? (Hills, sand, heat, boredom)
S WAY it is run (surges, tactics)
S Feedback!
Tools
S It isn’t High Intensity VS. Low Intensity
S You have EVERY intensity at your disposal.
S Use them.
S Sprinting to slow running!
Goal of Workout
S Stimulus to Adapt in the DIRECTION you want
S WIN the workout
S Manipulate it to win!
S Pattern good movements.
S Sometimes to do this….
S 4xmile at 4:22 with 3min rest
S Need to do more of this..
S 20min @ 5:00 pace, 3min jog, 1mi @ 4:45
S OR
S This…
S 6x400 @ 60 with 1min rest
SO what?
S Did I talk about
S VO2max?
S Mitochondrial density?
S Capillarization?
S Lactate threshold?
S Running Economy?
S THOSE are CONSEQUENCES of good training, not
goals.
