If we take a look at long distance running, I will have to introduce you to a legendary coach: Arthur Lydiard. He invented the term jogging and got famous for his strategies to achieve peak performance in long distance running events. When the runners started to run longer distances, they got more efficient and achieved a better endurance. LSD (Long Slow Distance) improves your peripheral adaptations, which means increased capillary density, more myoglobin, more mitochondrias, better use of free fatty acids as fuel and larger glycogen stores. Also there are probably some neural adaptations that make running more efficient. Training at slow speeds has only very little effect on VO2 maximum.
My runners did a very hilly 22-mile course, with one hill of three miles, somewhere around 2:10 and 2:15. We used to do our Monday 10-mile run in about 55 minutes. They were all aerobic running, but we werent mucking around at all. When you read his comment, please remember that bike rides typically are much longer than running sessions, therefore a 3 hours run is a very, very long training session. 5 hours of running is extremely long
aerobically pace. Even with the introduction of power metres, there are still riders believing in riding on the feeling among professionals. Does training programs matter at all? Why are these rider professionals even if they use these old training principles? Dedication to their training program could be the answer. Motivation plays a major role at elite levels and if a rider cant find the motivation for wattage based training programs, then it is probably much better for him to stick to his old school cycling program. But that doesnt mean that there is no difference in outcome between these training programs. The better and more optimized your training program gets, the better results you will achieve.
About the Author: Jesper Bondo Medhus is the medical doctor and cycling coach helping cyclists to ride faster with less training. He has compiled a very successful e-book with his best training techniques for time limited athletes.
Latihan Jarak Jauh Perlahan (Long Slow Distance) Latihan ini adalah latihan yang sering dipraktikkan oleh pelari maraton atau pelari jarak jauh. Sesuai dengan namanya, latihan ini memberi penekanan
kepada tempoh masa larian dan bukannya kelajuan. Lebih lama seseorang itu dapat berlari berterusan, lebih baik kesannya terhadap sistem kardiovaskular. Objektif utama latihan ini adalah bagi meningkatkan daya tahan kardiovaskular. Kelajuan yang dicadangkan adalah antara dua ke tiga meter sesaat. (2-3m/s) dan diperkenalkan pada awal musim persediaan umum bagi semua jenis sukan.
