GPP and lactic

[Charlie_Francis]

Charlie, I’ve noticed that the lactic/special endurance work is phased out in your your short to long program, from the Vanc04 DVD, to focus mostly on speed. Why doesn’t it carry forward, at least somewhat, until the end of the program? Is it because the effects of the lactic training remain for a number of weeks after the training has ended?

I guess I’m asking why is lactic work needed if it is going to be phased out eventually?

Lactic work is not phased out, it just changes. Lactic work is present in anything at max or near-max speed over 7.5 to 8 sec duration. so all speed endurance and special endurance runs have a lactic componant.
