How to choose the right sneaker for you by following running programming principles - Macro load and polarized training - Episode 4

In this episode, I talk about how to choose the ideal sneaker for you by knowing where your “aerobic threshold” is.

Key take aways

  1. Running below your aerobic threshold builds up your fitness without adding too excessive stress and fatigue to your body.
  2. Polarized training is where you have 80% below aerobic threshold and 20% above to increase fitness and running strength.
  3. You can get an estimate of your aerobic threshold by running at a speed where you can maintain conversation, breathe through your nose or keep your heart rate at ~180 - your age.
