Hi,
I have lurked in this forum for a few months now and have a question for some of the knowledgeable
people in here about "High Intensity Training".
Why is it that a person can train up to 80% of maximum effort with moderate to high volume and recover relatively quickly...
BUT...
When a person does 95% or more - as in 50m repeats or power cleans - his energy is sapped with little volume and it takes a looong time to recover?
What goes on phisiologically?
I remember training with a local track team
for a few months to increase my speed. For the
first two months we did alot of tempo, 80% runs, long hills etc...It was hard and we did get in shape and gain muscle and some speed. But when we started doing speed training. Our workouts turned us into zombies. We looked like we were spaced out and had no energy for days.
thanks in advance.
