Ωραίος Χρήστο!
Και μην ξεχνάμε την σημαντική επισήμανση του Daniels σχετικά με την VDOT και τους ρυθμούς προπόνησης:
Why training at your target VDOT paces is a bad idea!
The VDOT formula is designed to calculate your optimal training paces based on ACTUAL performance.
Hard workout training using higher VDOT paces will over-stress your body and increase your risk of injury
Easy workout training using higher VDOT paces will under-rest your body and increase your risk of injury…especially after over stressing your body during a hard workout.
Training at VDOT paces based on actual performance will get you to race faster…and subsequently improve your VDOT.
If you’re stressing too hard and resting too little. It’s not a matter of if you’ll get injured….it’s a matter of when!
