Explanation of Training Terms Basic Speed / Power Lactate Threshold From 60 to 100 up to 400 m speed endurance. Running efficiency, Development of Running Form, Running Mechanics, Event Specific Running Economy. Training runs of 25 -50 minutes at 85 -87% of Maximum Heart Rate or 85 -87% of v. VO 2 Developing a high level of aerobic threshold. High End Aerobic Threshold Endurance Training at 70 -80% of Maximum Heart Rate or 75 -80% of v. VO 2. Runs should be challenging on soft surfaces, and hills. Negative split effort is most desirable. Max VO 2 Development of Maximum Volume of Oxygen (92 -95% of Maximum Heart Rate or 90% of v. VO 2) 60 seconds up to 5 minutes intervals or up to 8 -12 minutes continuous.
Explanation of Training Terms Event Specific / Anaerobic Recovery Development of Lactate Acid Tolerance, 8001500 m Event Specific Power Pace Workouts. 95 -100% of Max Heart Rate or 95 -100% of v. VO 2 This is the #1 indicator of an athletes’ readiness for the next workout, the next interval, and demonstrates when an athlete is ready to race 1)AM Heart Rate, PM Resting Heart Rate 2)The ease at which the athlete takes their workout 3)Feeling good and ready to train and race 4)How quickly the athlete recovers from planned workouts or races 5)The body’s ablility to make training adaptations occurs during periods of recovery ** Staleness of heavy fatigue is a sign of over training – over training is the same as detraining the athlete and is very harmful to the athletes health and overall development Strength Training Examples: Plyometrics, running drills, form running, strength training with resistance machines, and event specific lifting
Power Workouts • Flying 60’s • Short, Medium, and Long Hill Sprints • Alternating Sets of Standard Long Jump with Heavy Resistance Back Squats • Jump Squats & Splits Jump Squats
Altitude Training • Responders vs. Non-Responders to Altitude Training? ? ? • The Importance of Altitude Training in building Aerobic and Anaerobic Thresholds – staying in the right zone • Power workouts are improved at Altitude (Max Speed Sprints up to 300 meters)
Recognizing Critical Speed • Male 3 K & 5 K runners must finish in under 53 seconds for their last 400 meters & run under 2: 30 or faster for last 1 K to compete for a podium spot at an international competition • Female 3 K & 5 K runners must finish in under 60 seconds for their last 400 meters and run under 2: 50 or faster for the last 1 K to compete for a podium spot at an international competition • Male 3 K & 5 K runners need 3: 34 -35 for 1500 meters and Female 3 K & 5 K runners need 4: 05 -06 to be contenders in the 3 K & 5 K
Improving Aerobic Efficiency at Event Speeds • 3 K – intervals starting at 1 minute and ending at 3 -4 minutes • 5 K – intervals starting at 2 minutes and ending at 5 minutes • 10 K – intervals starting at 3 minutes and ending at 9 -10 minutes • *** Interval workouts should follow a steady progression of time spent running in the correct pace zone as opposed to running the same set of intervals faster and faster
Training for Event Speeds • 3 K – up to 5 K in total workout volume • 5 K – up to 8 K in total workout volume • 10 K – up to 12 K in total workout volume
Running Plan • Training goal is to show continuous improvements to an athlete’s v. VO 2, Lactate Threshold & Aerobic Threshold as well as their fractional utilization of each these levels to the maturity of their career. • Training Program must be designed to improve aerobic efficiency at: • 1. Aerobic Threshold: 30 -90 min duration • 2. Lactate Threshold: 20 -40 min duration • 3. Various Event Speeds: TBD • 4. As well as maximize the athlete’s top end speed
