Week 2 of “5k Season” Aerobic base.

Talked about how aerobic base is necessary for improvement in running performance, and how to train aerobic base–pushing HR into each individual’s aerobic zone. Any amount of time there is good, but up to ~35-40 minutes continuous in the aerobic zone gives ever-increasing returns.
– Increase VO2Max–how efficiently your body extracts oxygen from the air each breath and transfers it to red blood cells
– increased aerobic capacity–how increased oxygen and blood-flow to muscles lets them burn energy and provide power without going into oxygen deficit, where soreness is worse and power delivery can’t be sustained.

Ran the Landslide Loop, with the target of maintaining ‘barely conversation pace’.

Homework of putting in another base training run like this later in the week.

COT–Mile High 6.

SiteQ was passed from Mile High to Jennay.
