TYPES OF AEROBIC CONDITIONING

TYPE DESCRIPTION BENEFITS


LONG SLOW DISTANCE
TRAINING (LSD)
Working at about 70% of VO2
Max
Anywhere from 30-120 minutes
Enhanced cardiovascular function
Enhanced thermoregulatory function
Improved mitochondrial energy production
Improved oxidative capacity of skeletal muscle
May improve Lactate Threshold
Over time, causes change in metabolic ability of the muscles
trained, possibly shifting Type IIx to Type I
*Doesnt stimulate same neuromuscular patterns used in competition
PACE/TEMPO TRAINING
(THRESHOLD TRAINING or
AEROBIC/ANAEROBIC
TRAINING)
Two types: steady and
intermittent
Working at Lactate Threshold or
slightly above race pace, for
approx.. 20-30 minutes
Improved energy production from both aerobic and anaerobic
metabolism
Involves same muscle recruitment pattern as competition
Improves running economy
Increases Lactate Threshold
INTERVAL TRAINING Working close to VO2 Max
1:1 Work/Rest ratio
Increased VO2 Max
Enhanced anaerobic metabolism
*Must have a strong aerobic base before utilizing
*Use sparingly very stressful on the system, no more than 1-2x per
week
REPETITION TRAINING (REPS) Working above VO2 Max for 30-
90 seconds
Work:Rest ratio 1:5

Improved running speed
Enhanced running economy
Inreased capacity/tolerance for anaerobic training
*High reliance on anaerobic metabolism, therefore must have long
recovery periods
FARTLEK TRAINING (Fartlek-
Speed play in Swedish)
Working alternating between
LSD (70% of VO2 Max) and
Pace/Tempo (up to 85-90% of
VO2 Max) for approx.. 20-60
minutes
Enhanced VO2 Max
Increased Lactate Threshold
Improved running economy
Improved fuel utilization from different sources
*Combining LSD and hill/fast burn work in one workout
