Diversity in Training Intensity
A study compared the effects of high-intensity workouts and increased volume of easy running on athlete performance. The intensity group completed ten sessions of six by three minutes in two weeks, while the volume group increased easy running by 70%. Despite the extreme nature of the intense workouts, the breakdown showed 62% of training in zone one and a more balanced distribution in zones two and three. The volume group spent 99.6% of their training in easy running below the anaerobic threshold. The study suggests that considering diversity in workouts and training intensity is crucial for athlete improvement.
