Thanks. That doesn´t annoy me nothing.
First of all Lydiard was Lydiard and Peter Snell is Peter Snell.
Second Snell acting as physiology expert is one among many, it´s not that he felts from the sky with the ultimate training consideration. the only one that got the only one rich training theory about training, by the way what a coincidence, to corroborate Lydiard !
Third, Peter Snell doesn´t say nothing knew. The fast fiber enhance with moderate training is a reality that i agree. Also VO2max enhance from slow pace is a reality. It´s proved. But just to some extend. I repeat, to some extend.
There i need to add 4 other aspects of consideration
1/If the best effective way to enhance the FT fibres would be moderate training, there would be no need to train on fast anaerobic paces also, and even Lydiard uses fast anaerobic training, faster than simply moderate pace to promote the enhance of Fast twitches.
2/If it´s true that the FT up to some extend do enhance with moderate training, the opposite it´s also true to some extend, that is the fast training with some sensible percent of stimulus in the anaerobic system also enhances the aerobic system as well. her are also physilogists and science methodologists that got articles that they prove that the anaerobic training also enhances the aerobic system,
3/It´s due to this both link between the aerobic and the anaerobic systems, that while the easy to moderate training runs runs do enhance the aerobic system and the ST and to some minor extend the ST and the anaerobic system, and that while fast run training with some anaerobic stimulus do enhance mainly the anaerobic system as the easy-moderate run can´t, but that the fast training also enhance the aerobic system to some extend that the best trainig periodisation is made by training both the aerobic and the anaerobic systems during the same training phases but in different percents each phase of course and progressive way.
4/Snell conclusions take us to the next step. What´s the best application from Snell conclusions ? Because point
As you might understand, i agree with Peter Snell conclusion, but that
doesn´t mean that Lydiard is right. The part to what Lydiard is right is the part that is universal common sense training in 2013, that aerobic training is very important and the basis of any rich distance training approach. The link from Snell ideas to Lydiard ones in what concerns about Long runs, season periodisation it´s not obvious and it´s not honest. This is the trick that the Lydiard ones they used often.
I might take from that Snell interview anything from James LI training, or Salazar training or every other that do train differently than Lydiard training.
ps- You come from nothing to physiology expertise. From the confess of total ignorance about physiology, and deny the physiology debate, actually you want to come deep in physiology...You are just a tricky individual. You say what better fits your opportunism as argument. Wait and see, it willn´t take long that that you will be close in your shell once again and you will say "oh, physiology, i don´t know nothing of it". Conclusion, you know some physiology if it´s in the Lydiard benefice, the moment the argument is not convenient to Lydiard here you are again HRE the physiology ignorant. After so many posts you did, your tricks of intelectual dishonesty are well known.
