Adding Endurance Training to a Strength Training Routine

When incorporating endurance training into a strength training routine, consider the availability of time for endurance training and start by adding low-intensity endurance work. Elite athletes predominantly focus on easy endurance training, which includes activities like walking, hiking, and easy jogging or cycling. To determine the right intensity, you can use a heart rate monitor and aim for below 75%, or use the talk test by maintaining a conversation without gasping for breath. It is essential to keep the training simple, consistent, and adjust the formulas based on personal factors like aerobic and anaerobic thresholds.
