Aerobic Base Building

This video by running coach Steve Magness is outstanding. It’s about how to build your aerobic base.

The videos geeks out a bit about mechanisms that drive your aerobic system, but what I loved was the big takeaway.

In order to improve your aerobic system you need many different inputs, of varying intensities and volume and, in the right doses.

While that sounds like a vague protocol, my main takeaway was, it depends!

It depends on the person, goals, training, history, schedule and so many other factors.

My other takeaway: a lot of stuff works. There is no perfect protocol.

Enjoy the video and let me know if you watch it.
