These heavy training form exist from long pieces run
with high speed and a limited number of repeats.
·
The mentioned % are percentages of the anaerobic threshold.
·
The anaerobic threshold is approximately equal to: 220-age-15. Another method
is: take 80 % (beginners) to 90 % (advanced) of the maximum heart rate.
For more information: Training with a heart rate monitor.
·
The pause lasts long (to maximum. 20 minutes), so that
there almost complete recovery takes place.
Limits number of repeats (one up to three)
of long pieces (1 mile, 2 mile, 3 mile) or (3000m, 4000m, 5000m) run in
a high speed.
Heart rate: ±160-185.
Duration: 10 up to 30 minutes.
Lactate: between 4 and 6 mmol/l.
Pause: to maximum 20 minutes, so that almost
complete recovery takes place.
Impacts
·
The impact is equal to those of endurance
training in speed 3. You train extra the increase of the maximal oxygen uptake
(VO2max) and race hardness.
