Changes

My utilities include the [[VDOT Calculator]], [[Marathon Pace Band]] , [[SportTracks Dailymile Plugin]], and more specialist software such as the [[Hypoxic Timer]] for [[Intermittent Hypoxic Exposure]].In addition, I've documented the use of software for [[High Speed Video Analysis]]. =Controversial Topics =There are a number of topics where the science my personal experience has led me to a radically different and controversial opinion.* [[Tempo Runs]]. The preponderance of scientific evidence indicates that tempo runs, also known as threshold training, is the least effective form of training and should be avoided.* [[Downhill Running]]. For endurance runners, I believe that downhill running is the most valuable and most overlooked form of training.* [[Overtraining Syndrome]]. I believe that Overtraining Syndrome is best considered a form of clinical depression, and concluded that [[How Often To Run| running 3-4 time per week is optimal]]. * [[Maximum Heart Rate]]. You have to measure Maximum Heart Rate, you can't calculate it and more than you can calculate your weight from your height.* [[Lactate Threshold]]. Most methods of measuring lactate threshold are deeply flawed, but the valid approach of Maximum Lactate Steady State (MLSS) is difficult, time-consuming, and probably not worth the effort.* [[Shoe Modifications]]. I cut the toe box is my running shoes open, something that seems surprisingly controversial to me. * [[Ketogenic Diet]]. My analysis is the science and personal experimentation is unlikely to upset both sides of the low carbohydrate debate. Not all of my suggestions are controversial, as my belief in things like the importance of [[Cadence]] and [[High Intensity Interval Training]] are mainstream.=Recent Changes=This list of recent changes is automatically generated, but it should give you a rough idea of what's been published recently.<news limit="30" nominor="true" unique="true"> * [[{{{pagename}}}]] {{{date}}}</news>
