Unlocking the Power of Non-Specific Lactate Work for Runners
In this video, we explore the concept of non-specific lactate work (NSLW) and its potential benefits for athletes. This training technique helps balance the aerobic and anaerobic systems, preventing early peaking and maintaining endurance. We discuss the importance of high lactate levels, different workout methods such as hill circuits, and examples from renowned coaches. These creative workouts provide a bridge between base and competitive phases, fostering strength and speed endurance without the drawbacks of specific high-intensity training. Learn how to effectively incorporate NSLW into your regimen for optimal performance.
