The Effect of Aerobic Base on Recovery From Sprint Work

If you have a larger aerobic base, you seem to recover better from sprint work. And actually, this is the same thing that happens in cyclocross races. This is because you get no rest in a cyclocross race or virtually no rest. Your body is trying to recover aerobically from all of these hard anaerobic efforts. To support repeated sprint performance, you need to have a really good aerobic base.
