In a 1990 study Houmard et al looked at detraining of experience endurance runners who were averaging 81km per week in training (~60km at ~75% VO2 max and 21km at ~95% VO2 max). Over a three-week period of detraining the athletes cut their volume by 70% to 24km, maintaining the intensity distribution with 17km at ~75% of VO2 max and 7km at ~90% VO2 max. The participants in the study had an increase in maximum heart rate (2.3%), and plasma volume decreased (-5.6%) during the period of reduced ...| SweatElite

Another major lesson from Jake’s time in Uganda was to drop the intensity of the recovery runs, and to prioritise recovery overall. During his time there he got caught up in wanting to explore the area and in addition to the ~180km he was running each week, he would also go out on long walks through the hills with his girlfriend Katie. He also went out and ran almost every afternoon, and only learnt at the end of his stay that the team he was training with would normally spend parts of most...| SweatElite
Leading up to the trials Sara and Ryan tried to adjust her training to suit the arena – the hills of Atlanta. All hard workouts were done over hilly courses around Flagstaff, knowing that the course would favour athletes with significant strength. One key workout they incorporated into this training block several times was a long uphill tempo on a road climbing to a ski field outside Flagstaff – a steady grade climbing from 7,000 to 9,000 feet in around 6 miles. Her performance here impro...| SweatElite
When asked which lessons Pat had learnt at OTC that he aimed to apply moving forward, Pat said there were so many it would be difficult to summarise. One major lesson that came to mind was the importance of focussing on the primary sessions as a priority and structuring the rest of the week around being able to hit them as well as possible. That may mean that an easy day between sessions is at 8:00 minute mile pace or even slower, but the pace of these is immaterial – the priority has to be...| SweatElite

Throughout the week, easy runs aren’t at a prescribed pace, as Peter says if athletes are feeling tired he doesn’t want them pushing at all. Often they will run these progressive, starting out slower than 5:00/km and build to as fast as 3:20-3:30/km for the last two or so kilometres. These are normally on dirt roads that can be quite hilly and rough underfoot.| SweatElite
