Jack Daniels (coach) - Training Philosophy

Training Philosophy

Daniels divides running performance into six components. Daniels argues that each of these components requires a specific training intensity to improve.

• The Cardiovascular System, specifically the body's ability to transport oxygen.
• The Running muscles' ability to use oxygen.
• The Lactate threshold - the ability to cope with, and minimize, lactic acid in the blood.
• The VO₂max - the maximum oxygen uptake capacity.
• Speed, for example leg turnover.
• The Running economy - the efficiency of the runner's movements.
