Metabolic Drivers of the Lydiard Phase: Session 2 - The Aerobic Base (2.5 Credit Hours)
2022 class dates to be confirmed
Instructors:
Dr. Keith Livingstone
Nationally accomplished athlete under the tutelage of Lydiard Olympic bronze marathon medalist Barry Magee. Author of Healthy Intelligent Training—the official handbook of Lydiard Training.
Greg McMillan
Called “one of the best and smartest distance running coaches in America” by Runner’s World magazine, Greg McMillan is also a runner, exercise physiologist, and popular author of training books including “You, Only Faster.”
Moderators:
Lorraine Moller and/or Colin Lancaster
Session (2.5 Hours)
The Aerobic Base
The Aerobic Base and how it elevates the Anaerobic Base, In a Nutshell
Why VO2 Max pace is actually anaerobic;
What’s happening in the local muscle and bloodstream at VO2 Max intensities
What is the importance of developing the aerobic base?
Changes in Maximal Oxygen Uptake through steady aerobic running.
Changes in the capacity of the Heart to pump blood
Growth of new capillary beds in skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle
Prolific growth of mitochondria in the skeletal and cardiac muscle fibers
Differing aerobic zones and their specific benefits for varying muscle fiber types, as described by Arthur Lydiard without the use of a heart rate monitor, and as described by exercise physiologist Karvonen with the use of a heart rate monitor
What a typical week in a Lydiard aerobic base period could look like
