I have no idea where you come up with this shit but if you read one page of any Soviet training manual or an exercise physiology book you would realize this.
An example maybe? Glycogenolytic is just the breakdown of glycogen to glucose during Glycolysis, not some separate energy system. Pretty basic.
Steve Scott did 1k's at 2:49 pace with 300m jog. A 3:47 mile guy. The hills were a high volume and not all out with a long recovery.
Anthony, it's very simple. The specificity of training has much more to do with neuro-muscular co-ordination than with aerobic/anaerobic capacities. These capacities don't change substantially during much of the athletes training once they have a decent level of basic fitness. What changes is the neural adaption, so you may be able to run 200's much faster after a few weeks of speed work, but thea adaption is mostly neural. If you have been doing hill work then you already have the enzymes to cope with higher H+ concentrations etc.
Glycolysis from blood glucose and glycogenolysis are NOT the same pathway. There are different H+ and ATP yields.
With glycogenolysis there is a yield of one extra ATP and one less H+
So that mean there is six times as much anaerobic ATP derived from glycogen v glucose and a much lower acidity.
Consider this in relation to how long we should wait after our last meal before we train hard or race, it is very significant.
