      • I just found some good stuff regarding the training of Ingrid Kristiansen (eliterunnertraininglogs.blogspot.se). I think it´s interesting to see the low percentages of anaerobic training and LT training. Instead she did alot of solid aerobic running at 3:45 - 4:00/km.
        Any thoughts? Does anyone have more info?

        Training records for Ingrid Kristiansen found at: http://www.idrett.no, info coming from her coach Johan Kaggestad.

        87,9% (6701km) of the mileage was aerobic training.

        4,7% (357km) was run between 3.10-3.40 min/km (39 work-outs) = LT training

        3,5% (265km) was aerobic capacity training (45 work-outs)

        0,37% (28,3km) was anaerobic capacity training (10 work-outs)

        0,12% (9,3km) was strides (no lactate) (166 work-outs)

        3,6% (273,8km) was competitions (28)

        Strength training: 37 work-outs lasting 10-15 min after a aerobic workout.

        Plyometrics: 65 work-outs lasting 10-15 min.

      • 80s were so rad dude
      • i remember a SI article about her treadmill running in her basement for 20K+ longer runs. staring at a poster of joanie.

        she had a website where it was all about training aerobically - really eschewing regular interval stuff.

        SI article:

      • This part of the SI article caught my eye,

        "First, Ingrid had to make some changes. She married Arve in 1981 and moved with him to the oil port of Stavanger, on Norway's remarkably mild west coast. There she could run year-round for the first time. And for coaching she turned to Kaggestad, a former 5,000-meter man who directed the Norwegian Nike distributorship. "She had built up tremendous aerobic capacity from the age of ten," he says. "But she had done no sophisticated training."

        Many argue one of the keys the Kenyan runners' success is that they have tremendous aerobic capacity because they start "training" at a very young age.

      • Bumping this thread.
        This is a great thread. I think Kristiansen is often overlooked. I mean, she ran crazy fast. Didn't she hold the 5k, 10k and marathon word record simoultaneously?
        By the looks of it, she trained harder than most female runners do today
