Summary

What do we know from science about training to improve three of the greatest determinants of running performance; VO2max, the aerobic threshold, and running economy? This episode is about hard evidence from training intervention studies, not anecdotal evidence and best practises. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: The impact of training volume, threshold training, VO2max training, and more, on VO2max What works best for improving the aerobic threshold? Trainingbelow the aerobic threshold, at the aerobic threshold, or at the anaerobic threshold or VO2max? Does training volume, high-intensity interval training, and strength training improve running economy?

0:52.8	running economy and just to be, when I say what we
0:57.4	know, I'm talking hard evidence from training intervention studies, not anecdotal evidence and
1:02.7	best practices. Also, after that, I'll talk a little bit about the initial responses to the
