Notice how quiet joe rogan gets when his guest is talking, no interruptions, no talking over each other, no laughing, just pure “shut up and listen” mode and I love it
To keep it simple. To increase your ability to handle intense workload for an extended period of time. Repeatedly expose yourself to a slightly easier workload for long periods of time and then do small bursts of intense workload afterwards.
2 types of endurance Cardio - Steady state Training - below 90% heart rate Ex: Running at a particular speed that's not too fast. Below Being able to run and talk to your buddy. Interval training - 85-90%, then switch to walking, this stretches the heart.
High heart rate under heavy loads. Dynamic in nature. 80-90%. Can still say a couple words. Walk around, then do it again. Ex: 10 swings with a kettlebell.
Stretching heart is a small part of endurance. You need mitochondria in the muscle cell.
How does your muscle use energy? ATP - creatine phosphate system Areobic system Glycolitic system
Develop in sliw fibers and fast fibers. Train in a way that produces less acid. Before the competition, do a couple smokers to prepare a couple weeks before.
Slow fibers: moving just under anaerobic threshold. That intensity where the acid stays at a steady state for a while. Where you don't crash. Running right below the anaerobic threshold. Just failing the talk test. (How to train mitochondria in slow fibers.)
For fast fibers: sprint to just light muscle fatigue, then walk, repeat for 40 minutes. Kettlebell swings, working on a heavy bag.
I have found for me once I reach the point of my heart rate is at 90% I slow down to a fast walk for 1 to 2 minutes and when I start running again I feel like I have more stamina. I do that Once every mile and a half and I have built my cardio in less than two months. Whenever I first started training I could barely last one minute. I smoke cigarettes for 14 years and did not treat my body well at all, I had almost no cardio. Now I can run for 30 minutes nonstop.
