This does take a little strategy. <br /><br />As far as real training goes, there is a major trend among endurance athletes toward way less "miles" and far more intensity. Brad Wiggins is somewhat perfecting this model. Endurance improvements come very quickly--hence my 3 week model--provided you don't completely lose your aerobic efficiency, which is very easy to keep if you pay attention. <br /><br />For example, last year I did 3 12-hour-plus events over a 1-month window and survived them very well with only a handful on long workouts over the course of an entire year. I think I wrote my reflections on this somewhere but don't have time to look. Anyway, the answer is yes but, of course, there are further considerations. <br />Steve Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639176315514772554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-91120959536473707062013-02-12T11:06:11.593-07:002013-02-12T11:06:11.593-07:00While HIT and SIT are good for overall fitness wit...While HIT and SIT are good for overall fitness with reasonable time commitments, do you find them to be adequate for endurance fitness, e.g. marathons, iron man...<br /><br />My understanding has been that physiological changes needed for endurance, e.g. mitochondria, capillaries, only occur after > 1 hour activities repeated over relatively long periods of time (months, years). Have you found SIT and HIT followed by a few weeks of sports specific training to be adequate for your endurance performance?Jim Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04439864743068298065noreply@blogger.com
