Reply With QuoteYou're training for endurance? Then it makes sense. Keep the bulk of your training aerobic, but personally, I'd do some HIIT too.

Lactic Acid Threshold Workouts
I've heard of runners doing these and was wondering what people think about them. The goal is to push your body to a level just below the threshold of lactic acid production. I believe runners think they can increase the amount of exercise they can do before their body reaches lactic acid threshold.
Any thoughts on this? I personally think it may be legit, and was wondering if there are any applications to training for muscular endurance.

Well triathletes/distance swimmers need to do some strength work IMO. I agree that the training should be mostly aerobic (and that HIIT has its place in cardio).
What I was really wondering, though, is about the legitimacy of this claim. Can you really condition your body to go further before reaching lactic threshold?
How would you accomplish this in the gym? Low loads and high ranges of reps with less rest between sets? Should one shoot for more/less volume in these types of workouts?

Your body becomes better at utilizing its aerobic energy production systems, so you can work longer on just oxygen.
