I like the example given for Peter Snell, that his 800m record still stands today (some 40 years on), after having trained under Arthur Lydiard and his aerobic training methods. And yet today's trend is towards high intensity training - so why hasn't anyone smashed the record?? Something obviously was working 40 years ago!Rachel Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08917658253779128360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31288959.post-78815741279794990652009-07-19T22:31:22.435+12:002009-07-19T22:31:22.435+12:00Nice stuff Kate, the Stuff by Allen and Maffetome ...Nice stuff Kate, the Stuff by Allen and Maffetome is gold dust.<br />Even Rachel is getting the slow running thing.<br />I can't believe people still subscribe to the run as hard as you can all the time method of training and continue to get injured and show only sporadic improvements and more often get worse eventually.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00039673793177139765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31288959.post-67736009884447000562009-07-19T20:55:04.341+12:002009-07-19T20:55:04.341+12:00We bought a new book last night, "Breakthroug...We bought a new book last night, "Breakthrough Triathlon Training" by Brad Kearns, and it talks all about aerobic training vs speedwork, and why slower aerobic training is the way to go. We figured it would save Paul from having to answer all our 'why?' questions!! Well worth a read. :-)Rachel Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08917658253779128360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31288959.post-69849445301329316392009-07-19T20:27:42.318+12:002009-07-19T20:27:42.318+12:00Haha. It's sort of depressing really! Though ...Haha. It's sort of depressing really! Though I think you could give yourself credit for a slightly faster half-M than 1:57, even though you haven't had that ideal race yet. For example, a 24 minute 5k, which you're well capable of, gives you 6:19, which sounds less hideous! <br /><br />This week I have an hour easy tomorrow (which I may be doing with a friend), aerobic intervals on Tuesday, and easy runs (30 and 40) on Weds and Thurs... Keen? My timetable's a bit of a mess, so is subject to last minute changes, but have been squeezing my runs in most days..Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15650652034813454379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31288959.post-33383080126134755602009-07-19T20:03:14.576+12:002009-07-19T20:03:14.576+12:00Huh - as if to prove that, I entered in the 1.57 h...Huh - as if to prove that, I entered in the 1.57 half marathon time I ran in training that time and came up with a 6.48 pace for my long runs.

Last week's 25km was conducted at a 6min pace, and you were in my head telling me I was going waaayyyyyy tooo fast! <br /><br />Speaking of, what's your running schedule like this week?Piphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11205242741145067573noreply@blogger.com
