Jak pisałem, moda, wahadło idzie w drugą stronę. Oczywiście wszystko jest podlane naukowym sosem (stąd link do Running Science).Bartek Olszewski pisze: Powracając do tematu, dziś np. znalezione w necie:
"New theories are looking at shorter, harder workouts and muscle confusion to create increased strength and functional fitness.
For their athletes in the Hanson-Brooks Distance Project, brothers Keith and Kevin Hanson don’t recommend running anything longer than a 16-mile run before a marathon. Instead they see all workouts as being equally important and prefer mixing three substantive workouts a week with three easier runs and one rest day."
Dla odprężenia inny link do artykułu z 2009 roku o jakże seksownym tytule: "Intervals, Thresholds, and Long Slow Distance: the Role of Intensity and Duration in Endurance Training".
Nawet wrzucę omówienie, a co:
Endurance training involves manipulation of intensity, duration, and frequency of training sessions. The relative impact of short, high-intensity training versus longer, slower distance training has been studied and debated for decades among athletes, coaches, and scientists. Currently, the popularity pendulum has swung towards high-intensity interval training. Many fitness experts, as well as some scientists, now argue that brief, high-intensity interval work is the only form of training necessary for performance optimization. Research on the impact of interval and continuous training with untrained to moderately trained subjects does not support the current interval craze, but the evidence does suggest that short intense training bouts and longer continuous exercise sessions should both be a part of effective endurance training. Elite endurance athletes perform 80 % or more of their training at intensities clearly below their lactate threshold and use high-intensity training surprisingly sparingly. Studies involving intensification of training in already well-trained athletes have shown equivocal results at best. The available evidence suggests that combining large volumes of low-intensity training with careful use of high-intensity interval training throughout the annual training cycle is the best-practice model for development of endurance performance.
Tylko proszę pamiętać, że pewnie 3/4 tych "elite endurance athltetes" też trenuje według wskazówek swoich trenerów, z których część podąża za najnowszymi trendami, a część za wieloletnimi przyzwyczajeniami
W czasie swoich treningów to 30 kilometrów to było praktycznie minimum na niedzielne wybieganie. W moim wypadku to był najprzyjemniejszy trening. Cały tydzień czekałem na ten moment kiedy będę mógł wskoczyć w buty biegowe i spędzić na trening kilka godzin z Narzeczoną, która zawsze towarzyszyła mi na rowerze. Tempo w sam raz, żeby móc prowadzić spokojną rozmowę. I tak leciały jakoś te kilometry jeden za drugim.
