11. What is the goal of training?
If the goal of training is to enable
yourself to run a given distance
faster than you ever have, then
what ingredients do you need to
include in your training recipe?
22. Lydiard’s Ingredients
• Long Aerobic Running
• Fartlek running
…most of the
questions that night
focused on these two
workouts….
...which makes me
think that most
people don’t know
the ingredients
25. Are there missing Ingredients?
…but don’t most athletes do either a tempo
run, a steady state run, a threshold run or
maybe cruise intervals in addition to a long
run and/or a fartleck run?

This is really three graphs in one
Understanding this graph cruitial understanding the rest of the presentation
We’re going to break this graph down and build it back up
Just look at the VO2 curve
All this means is that VO2 max, you’re ability to run when you fully utilize all of the oxygen that comes in, will eventually level out
Then you can keep running
Now lets look at ventilatory threshold
What would the breathing look like?
