High-Intensity Interval training for endurance, done right

When we hear the word endurance, the first thing that pops into mind is long-distance training; and then Marathon, triathlon races, etc. However, most people never ask: “What kind of endurance? Aerobic or anaerobic?” So, we thought it’s about time someone set the record straight on designing a high-intensity interval training for endurance. And, in this post, that’s what we’ll do.

Cardiorespiratory endurance for Marathon runners

Cardiorespiratory endurance, or cardiovascular endurance, is the ability of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels to deliver oxygen to body tissues. As a result, this bodily function allows the production of energy through aerobic metabolism. Also, it allows the supply of muscle tissue with the oxygen needed, to produce energy in mitochondria. So, what does that mean for an athlete who is training for a Marathon?

The best way to build endurance is science

Aerobic capacity (endurance) is the ability to maintain the duration of the exercise for more than 3 minutes; with the main source of energy required deriving from the aerobic metabolic system (Smilios et al, 2018). But, what is the best way to build endurance?

Endurance or High Intensity Intervals training?

The quiz tackling Endurance vs High Intensity Intervals Training is a time-honored debate. In fact, it’s one that seems to be of great importance to the coaching world. Like BMW vs Mercedes is to the automotive world; Or like Ronaldo vs Messi is to the soccer world; Or Nicola Tesla vs Thomas Edison to the world of power and energy. Suffice it to say, it’s at the top of the game.

Continuous or interval endurance training?

Both high-intensity interval endurance training and continuous endurance training methods are effective in increasing cardio-respiratory and metabolic functions; as well as aerobic performance. Still, the question of which of the two methods induces greater physiological adaptations is a major issue; both for exercise scientists and endurance coaches. So, which is best? Continuous or interval endurance training?

Circuit training for endurance

Endurance athletes, both recreational and hobbyists, suffer from lack of availability to train. That’s due to domestic, social and professional responsibilities. And the majority of them tend to skip their strength training sessions for two main reasons. For one, they do not recognize the benefits that strength training offers to aerobic endurance. For another, they are convinced that strength training is, in comparison, the opposite of endurance performance. That’s where circuit training for endurance comes into the picture.
