Question: ...three biggest mistakes?
Answer: ...Slow steady state cardio training for athletes competing in speed/power based events. WAKEY WAKEY;.YOU ARE SO FAR BEHIND THE CURVE ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY. How do I know its wrong – because I used to do it and it didnt work. I still see this all the time and the best answer they can give is that;s how we have always trained….wrong answer!! If I hear another coach tell me they are developing an aerobic base I will scream!!! There are so many reason I won’t go into them now; trust me if you are still doing this (and you know who you are) then stop.

Question: We spoke before about doing very short high speed interval work for endurance training. Can you expand on that for our readers?
Answer: Slow and steady may be appropriate for come clients (overweight, sedentary, recovering from illness/operation, ultra endurance athletes), but if you’ve got an average aerobic capacity 45-50ml.kg.min….forget it, intervals are where its at.
Al, this stuff works, there’s a heap of research from Europe that clearly shows increases on aerobic capacity from interval based training, even intervals as short as 20 seconds.
The typical picture (not with my clients!) at pre-season is that of players coming in to work on developing an aerobic base….long slow and steady running….what a crock!
It’s a crock for a number of reasons (not all of which I can go into now) but not least the fact that their sport rarely requires long slow steady efforts…..much more likely to be high intensity repeated efforts. Why do I love it so much? Because most of the sports I work with are not pure endurance sports – they are repeated effort speed and power sports.
Intervals are time efficient (back to quality vs quantity) – a 20-40 minute interval session is going to hike up your aerobic capacity far more than a 60-90 minute jog.
You get a fantastic anaerobic workout – increased lactate tolerance.
You can work at ‘match’ intensity and then build endurance on later on in the season (Ian King – Reverse Periodisation).
Intervals can incorporate sport specific movement patterns and drills.
What would I do?
Start short -15-20 seconds work with a 1:1 – 1:2 work rest ratio.
Session duration – 20-40 seconds
Progress from basic repeat sprint to more complex drills incorporating sport specific patterns.
Build endurance into the progression with maximum work period of 2 minutes.
Once into competition phase mix the work rest periods up so that you get a complete mix of demands on the body so that the athlete is constantly adapting.
