Noakes notes to:
"While thesis objections may be valid, They Do not detract from the clear evidence did Daniels has Achieved great practical success with this training method. That he uses to unproven and Perhaps date model to explain the physiological reasons for his success is of no consequence" ,
For my conditions VDOT formula is largely irrelevant. It is in Altmeloner Hochmoor aufi and obi, it change forest trails with forest roads. I also have no idea how long the sections. Thus, an exact speed formula is unnecessary.
Very useful, however, the weekly training plans that are tailored to the race-length and the weekly mileage. The book also includes construction plans from White (Beginner Level), red, blue and gold (Elite).
There are each train a specific property according Daniels 5 different basic training types.
E: Easy-runing. Relatively easy continuous run.
L: Long-Running. With the same pace as E, but longer distance.
T: Threshold Running. 80% V02max or 10,000m pace
I: interval training. Repeated tempo runs to a maximum of 5 minutes to the anaerobic threshold. Typically, 400, 800 or 1000 meters.
R: Repetitions. Short sprints.
The VDOT formula is therefore not so important, because with a little bit of experience always knows what is an E, L, T, I, or R training. Daniels warns that one should not approach it too fast in the individual stages. Its formula is designed to avoid this error.
A season is divided into 4 phases. For each phase, a week of training plan with the above components will be created. This looks reasonable. The change compared to my youth is: At that time you have E, L .... more consecutively made. First, in the winter endurance training (E, L), in the spring T and cross-competitions on weekends, from April primary I and R on the track. The cross-country races were the ultimate goal for me. Since I was much better than on the track. Interval training on the cinder track, I also found bleak.
It also move at Daniels weights from E to I and R within the individual phases. However, it is at any stage prior to getting everything. Mostly you have already once made. Once you get on the running track did not feel like it's just been running. That is, one has lodged an E / L training session.
I have to know after reading the two books the feeling at least once in theory where and how to go. Werma segn whether the implementation of such works and a glorious comeback is not handicapped.
