StarStarStarStar

Specificity

StarStarStarStar

Training should be tailored to the specific demands of the sport or event, mimicking the energy systems, movements, and intensities the athlete will encounter.

StarStarStarStar

Psychological Training

StarStarStarStar

Developing mental resilience and strategies such as visualization and goal-setting to enhance endurance performance and cope with the challenges of competition.

StarStarStarStar

Tapering

StarStarStarStar

Reducing the volume and intensity of training before a major competition to allow the body to recover and perform optimally.

StarStarStarStar

Recovery

StarStarStarStar

Proper rest and recuperation are essential for allowing the body to adapt to training stresses and for preventing overuse injuries.

StarStarStarStar

Monitoring Training Load

StarStarStarStar

Keeping track of the volume and intensity of training to avoid overtraining and to ensure proper progression and adaptation.

StarStarStarStar

Flexibility Training

StarStarStarStar

Including exercises to improve range of motion, which can help prevent injuries and aid in recovery.

StarStarStarStar

Interval Training

StarStarStarStar

Involves alternating periods of high-intensity work with low-intensity recovery phases to improve speed and cardiovascular fitness.

StarStarStarStar

Cross Training

StarStarStarStar

Participating in different forms of exercise to improve overall fitness, prevent overuse injuries and maintain motivation.

StarStarStarStar

Nutrition and Hydration

StarStarStarStar

Maintaining a balanced diet and adequate hydration levels to fuel the body for endurance activities and promote recovery.

StarStarStarStar

Reversibility

StarStarStarStar

The principle that fitness gains are lost when training is stopped or reduced. Maintaining consistency in training is key to preserving endurance and performance.

StarStarStarStar

Periodization

StarStarStarStar

Organizing training into cycles of varying intensity, volume, and focus to peak for key competitions and to prevent overtraining.

StarStarStarStar

Threshold Training

StarStarStarStar

Training at or near the lactate threshold to increase the body's ability to process lactate and improve endurance performance.

StarStarStarStar

Strength Training for Endurance

StarStarStarStar

Incorporating strength exercises to improve muscular endurance and overall athletic performance without significantly increasing muscle mass.

StarStarStarStar

Training Peaks and Troughs

StarStarStarStar

Strategically planning high-intensity and low-intensity periods to maximize adaptations and minimize the risk of overtraining.

StarStarStarStar

Progression

StarStarStarStar

The intensity and volume of training should gradually increase over time to continue to adapt and improve, while avoiding plateau.

StarStarStarStar

Overload

StarStarStarStar

To improve performance, athletes need to train harder than their normal intensity. Gradually increasing the stress on the body will lead to adaptations and improvements in endurance and strength.

StarStarStarStar

VO2 Max Training

StarStarStarStar

High-intensity training designed to increase the maximum volume of oxygen an athlete can use, improving aerobic capacity and endurance.

StarStarStarStar

Variety

StarStarStarStar

Incorporating different workouts and cross-training to maintain motivation, reduce injury risk, and develop a broader athletic base.

StarStarStarStar

Active Recovery

StarStarStarStar

Engaging in low-intensity exercise post-workout or on rest days to facilitate the recovery process and reduce muscle soreness.

StarStarStarStar

Individualization

StarStarStarStar

Training programs should be tailored to the individual's needs, taking into account factors such as age, fitness level, and personal goals.

StarStarStarStar

Warm-Up and Cool-Down

StarStarStarStar

The process of preparing the body for exercise by gradually increasing the heart rate and circulation and cooling down to transition the body back to a resting state.

StarStarStarStar

Altitude Training

StarStarStarStar

Training at high altitudes to increase the production of red blood cells and enhance oxygen delivery to the muscles.

StarStarStarStar

Heat Acclimation

StarStarStarStar

Training in hot conditions to improve the body's ability to manage heat stress and perform in warm environments.

StarStarStarStar

Compartmentalized Training

StarStarStarStar

Breaking down training into specific blocks focused on particular energy systems or performance components to allow for targeted improvements.

StarStarStarStar

Sleep and Recovery

StarStarStarStar

Getting adequate sleep is vital for recovery, adaptation to training, and overall performance.

StarStarStarStar

Cold Acclimation

StarStarStarStar

Adapting to cold conditions through frequent exposure, which can enhance metabolic efficiency and the ability to maintain core temperature.

StarStarStarStar

Aerobic Base Building

StarStarStarStar

Establishing a solid foundation of aerobic fitness through long, steady-state training sessions before moving to more intense workouts.

StarStarStarStar

Respiratory Training

StarStarStarStar

Exercises focusing on improving the strength and efficiency of respiratory muscles to enhance breathing and aerobic performance.

StarStarStarStar

Plyometric Training

StarStarStarStar

Dynamic movements that improve power and neuromuscular efficiency, potentially beneficial for improving running economy in endurance athletes.

StarStarStarStar

RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion)

StarStarStarStar

A subjective measure of exercise intensity that can help athletes regulate effort during training and avoid overexertion.

StarStarStarStar

Race Simulation

StarStarStarStar

Practicing under conditions that mimic the target race to prepare mentally and physically, fine-tuning pacing and strategy.
