Re: Heart rate-driven CV intervals recovery
The distance-based recovery is also a way for the athlete to self regulate the session, going a bit quicker if having a good day or really fit; going slower if not having a great day, but still able to accomplish the session without side effects. Its also easier to handle a group; rather than everyo...

Navigating the Group Run
Some great advice from Alan Culpepper on navigating group workouts. Concepts should be nothing new to most people on this site, but he makes the points so clearly it was worth sharing.

Re: Book For Sale !!!
My review of Build Your Running Body. It is difficult to create an "impact" book these days with how fast information moves and how accessible knowledge has become, but this book is essential for any serious runner's library.

Re: Progressive 4 x 1 Mile for 5K Preparation
1) Think "minimal effective dose." While this workout might or might not yield some benefit, there are MANY less taxing options to help improve an 18:47/5k. 2) That said, it's ONE workout. Always difficult to honestly evaluate any single workout without a fuller context of the training that has...

Re: Maffetone Training
Personally, I ran the worst in my life when following this type of training. Someone used the word deflated earlier...that's a perfect description. When it "works," its typically when someone has been overcooked and responds well in the short term to some intensity deloading and give the body a cha...

Re: Cycling Training, Racing, Physiology, and Racing Tactics
[quote="monica"] This was my point as well :) About having to adjust to conditions. As for mph... if the relevant variables are well controlled for I find it pretty close to the truth too... But I would be happy to have a power meter sure, because then you don't have to control for those variables [...

Re: Cycling Training, Racing, Physiology, and Racing Tactics
[quote="dkggpeters"] My understanding is power is power no matter what temperature so you would have to adjust for temperature like we do now. Someone correct me if I am wrong. [/quote] You are correct. Power is power. But on a big picture level, there is a "cost of doing business" to achieve ce...

Re: Cain/Rupp post race workouts
I just can't believe that 56 laps on the indoor track at close to 4 flat pace can be a good thing (Rupp). Also find it ironic that they do a lot of speed work on grass when in Portland, paying particular attention to staying healthy (off the track), but its then OK to run make over 100 sharp left t...

Re: eBook ideas
As Todd alluded to....there's "interesting"...and then there's "what's gonna sell?"... I think there's room for a high school focused running guide. No book (to my knowledge) that takes readers through different real-life scenarios (two week vs three week postseason, how to deal with indoor track, k...

Re: Rest days
No particular reason to do so, but I'd experiment on a meaningless dual or other small meet to see how it goes if its a new strategy. Everyone comes back from rest days a little differently (some feel sluggish, others energized). Probably the best reason would be to catch up on sleep, homework, et...

2:49. Short of his goal, but still a phenomenal time for age 50! Not sure what the weather was like there today.

Re: Running Times Article - Chris Derrick
Just to clarify on Lochte...his pool program was fine; he got in trouble by adding a bunch of ancillary nonsense outside the pool thinking it would translate physically and into mental toughness (tire flips in his driveway, sledgehammers, keg tosses, etc...all of which may have their place for certa...
