Key Running Science Concepts

Lactate Threshold

The pace where lactate accumulates faster than your body can clear it (around 85-90% max HR). Training at this intensity raises your sustainable pace.

VO2 Max

The maximum oxygen your body can utilize during intense effort. Higher VO2 max = better aerobic capacity. Developed through high-intensity intervals.

Aerobic vs Anaerobic

Aerobic uses oxygen (Zones 1-3), anaerobic doesn't (Zones 4-5). Most training should be aerobic to build sustainable fitness.

The 80/20 Rule

80% of running should be easy Zone 2, 20% should be hard (Zones 3-5). This balance maximizes adaptations while preventing overtraining.
