Even for the same athlete, what was once anaerobic may become aerobic as the athlete becomes faster. This indivdual and seasonal variation is the problem with pre-defining "one-size-fits-all" workouts. This problem is cleverly avoided when defining the desired physiological response, rather than the stimulus.In the end, high volume workouts that lower your blood pH are necessarily anaerobic for all persons.Drugs can supplement the effects of training, and speed up recovery, but you still need to do the training.
