Hi All,
what is the current Slowtwitch wisdom regarding training of different energy systems in one session?
So far, my understanding was that if I wanted to train my aerobic system I should train in zone 2 for extended periods of time. If I wanted to work on my VO2max I should run intervals but not to try both things in the same session because the body would not go into aerobic adaptation mode if too much lactate accumulated.
Now I talked to a coach recently and he basically recommended me doing workouts like: 1h easy running followed by 40 min max effort or a 90 min run with 5-10x 800 min at 10k pace. Same on the bike where a 2h ride would be spiked with all kinds of intervals....
So, am I missing something?
Thoughts?
