A Recipe for Faster Running • Too Much or Too Little - Stress & Recovery • The Aerobic system provides 93% of the energy during a 5,000m race • The Aerobic system can be developed indefinitely • Conversely, the Anaerobic system only needs to be trained for 6 - 8 weeks to fully develop • For serious athletes, who are training longer then 10 weeks, aerobic workouts must take precedent over anaerobic workouts and precede anaerobic workouts What will our season look like?
