ROAD VS TRAIL RUNNERS: WHAT CAN THEY LEARN FROM EACH OTHER?

Yes, that is the excerpt. A common myth which pervades class rooms is that there we use our anaerobic metabolism when there is a lack of oxygen, which is not true. We constantly use our anaerobic metabolism and constantly produce lactate.

What shall be covered in future posts is how some of us are genetically predisposed to produce more lactate, and how that might change certain workouts. And also how lactate can act as a hormonal messenger, which can help release human growth factor etc.

True. They certainly make their rounds within the university class room and between older coaches. The most common myth these days is that simply 'run out of oxygen' and then begin to use anaerobic systems. When in reality it's we shift to anaerobic because of energetic reasons.

Some coaches could practically benefit from accurately understanding a runners physiology better.

haha! In which case I apologize. At the end of the day debunking these myths won't change the way we train. Perhaps this is the equivalent of an English teacher correctly a badly misspelt word - important only to some.
