The Case Against Aerobic Base with Dave Salo

Brett stopped by Nova practice to chat with Sprint Salo.

In this clip, Coach Salo discusses the case against traditional aerobic base training and presents an alternative approach to developing aerobic capacity.

Coach Salo argues that maximizing recruitment of muscle fibers through race pace training is essential for improving aerobic capacity.

He emphasize the interconnectedness of the aerobic and anaerobic systems (they are linked entities not separate entities) and the importance of pH regulation in optimizing performance.
