Matt Forte Hill workout

I was initially opposed to the idea of lactic loads on the long hills until I had some communication with a Bulgarian associate of mine who provided me with information that elucidated the value of mitochondrial biogenesis at the level of the myocardium prior to the same in the skeletal muscles.

This is essentially the lone exception to my general criticism of lactic training for athletes competing in speed/power disciplines that do not require special endurance.

Thanks. That clears up why. And originally you assumed and thought the same as I did it seems.

Is that from Dasheva’s work?
Is it in a format you could share? Or is it from her text?

Yes, Zhelyaskov and Dasheva.

They approved me re-printing their text and distributing it through my site.

I will inform when it’s a go.

James do you know Forte’s trainer?

If it’s the same guys I’m thinking he seems to be pretty popular.

In the article it says that he is trained by a celebrity trainer. I do not know him.

Excellent!!

Any update on this James?

This type of run is in KitKat’s GPP (3 sets of 40 second hill run, jogback rest, repeat), and I like it because you get fit in a hurry with minimal risk of injury, because you’re not really going fast. The other benefit appears to be that the recovery time is minimal- I felt like I could run speed the next day if needed no problem. I wonder if the recovery time is similar to the recovery from 600m runs, which I believe Charlie indicated was virtually 24 hours.

James, RB, lr1400, any comments regarding the recovery time required from runs of this type in your experience?
