TRAINING TIP
“Anaerobic threshold training should form an integral part of the training schedule of any middle or long distance athlete.
These sessions should be performed at a pace that you could hold for approximately 60-70 minutes in a race, and the sets should feel moderately challenging but sustainable” – Mike Carmody
