Special vs. Speed vs. Plain

[sprint_coach]

@tb2010

I just had a quick question to clarify some terms i see used on the forum:

special endurance is the ability to maintain an extrememly high intensity

speed ednurance is the ability to maintain a semi0high intensity

endurance is the ability to maintain low intensity

are these right?

In general -

Special Endurance - HIGH intensity over ‘longer’ distances. For sprints - normally for longer than 15".

Speed Endurance - HIGH intensity for distances less than 15" and more than 6/7".

Endurance - depends on what your goal is … it could be longer distances at a lower intensity with shorter rest intervals.

Hope this helps??
