Performing Anaerobic Workouts—Keep Them Simple and Short
By keeping the workouts simple and short, I am referring to the specific types of workouts in each sport. Some anaerobic-interval track workouts, for example, have become so complicated that you almost need a computer to follow them (and, in fact, computer programs are now available to provide you with such schedules).
After decades of assigning hundreds of different types of anaerobic intervals in many sports, I have concluded without a doubt that all of these different methods result in the same or very similar benefits when it comes to endurance athletes. Whether a runner does 400-meter repeats, uphill repeats, step-ups, or fartlek, the anaerobic stimulation will provide very similar, if not identical, results for most racing needs. If the swimmer does varying distance intervals with any number of specific patterns offered by the many successful coaches in the sport, he or she will obtain very much the same benefits for endurance races. The most useful anaerobic benefits come when you perform them similarly or identically to what you do in competition. This includes runners training just faster than the pace they seek to race with, cyclists riding just faster than their race speed, and so on.
