Mr. Renato Canova: Could You Please Answer a Question About Effective Ways to Improve the Lactate Threshold?

I have the .doc files in my computer, I wanna give them out but I dont wanna have to give them out to tons of people. So I will give them out to about the first 5 people who ask and then the next people who want them. Instead of asking you should ask those 5 people, that way it's easier

I just sent twelve files to the last two people. 5 recent Renato files, 6 older Renato files, and a Hicham El Guerrouj training article

Hey Mike, if you wouldnt mind, I'd love to have them.

Thanks

Am I in the first five? I'd love to see them.

Just to make it a bit easier for Mike, Renato's articles have already been posted here countless times. If you want them in a nice table format, take the time and do it yourself.

Here is a link where you can find Renato's first six:

http://www.kemibe.com/canova.htm

And the other five were already posted on this thread!

So why is everyone asking for articles that were already on here on the last 2 pages, on multiple other threads, and on the link above?

Here's how to get them; click page 33, highlight, copy, and paste. Not very hard.

I'm loving this thread, I am very curious about these circuits specifically how steep an incline we are talking about for them?

Obviously you could do them on any hill but how steep it is closely affects the bounding and running movements performed.

I also wish to clear up "sagital splits" and 'blocked knee" bounding, what do these terms mean??

Thanks

I sent it to those two, now four total.

I have files that are not online. I'm sending out the original .doc files, they are easier to read.

I hope Renato makes more files

Hi!

could I also get them?

jonopari@hotmail.com

Thanks:)

Mike, for these last five files, was everything posted on this thread or is there more?

And for the past articles, what is there that is not on Kemibe's site?

Renato,

you said that you spend the first 3 months for developing the AnT of your runners.

can you explain more about the base training that the runners are doing when home in Kenya?

Agreed, and also still curious what are "sagittal splits" and blocked knees even hops" and how often you use the circuits.

Michael,

Please send the lastest files.

I have the old ones.

Thank you!

How often are the circuits used and how do you do those drills?

How do you improve a runner's anaerobic threshold if they do not have one naturally high like the Kenyans?

Yess can you Mr Renato please answer on this?

Renato:

How do you improve a runner's anaerobic threshold if they do not have one naturally high like the Kenyans?

Also, do you have files of other examples of circuits? For instance, it is now November which for most is the basic period. You said in this period you use high intrsnity strength endurance circuits and resistance aerobic endurance circuits.

Do you have other example of resistance circuits (the aerobic circuit example you gave was 900m climbing and 700m flat; can you provide another instance of this same type of circuit over different distances (perhaps a shorter hill for those who do not live in Kenya?))?

Thanks for your help Renato.

P.S. I am going for the 700th post.

Renatos comments reveal the principles behind the training. All great coaches look at principles as their keys to educating athletes to train and race smart (well). Key principles stay the same, but training varies from one runner to the next. Principles such as these are important: develop aerobic capacity foremost, gradual progression, generalization first, specialization second, consistency, integration of training modalities (not using justone type of training), rest...regeneration, variety and change, modelling, pacing and racing tactis, technical skill development, and flexibility. Such principles are more important than how many hill reps you should run and how fast to do your daily runs.

It is generally known amongst coaches that one must look at runners as individuals and adapt principles to what each person needs. It is often the case the failures are due more to a lack of patience, lack of common sense, and a lack of realism than a lack of mileage or tempo runs or repetitions on the track. Too many people try to train like a Kenyan who is running 27 minutes for the 10k when they are running 32 minutes. Take care, Tinman

I disagree. For many runners who have the basic knowledge already, these extras could be the KEY to help them unlock a breakthrough.

Renato said himself the secret is to add, not to replace. And I was only asking how to modify the circuits for shorter hills and what certain drills meant.

I disagree again. The 32 minute runner NEEDS to figure out WHY the 27 minute Kenyan is running so fast, and the answer lies primarily in the types of preparation being done. To look at what those better than you are doing and incoporate it; THAT is common sense
