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.
