One keeps searching for ease, she did not say, and not finding it, till the memories of no-pain seem only like daydreams.

Never train anaerobically more than two to three times each week, and separate anaerobic sessions by at least 48 hours to assure good recovery. If your workout schedule includes six or seven days each week, at most three anaerobic sessions are acceptable; if you work out four to five days each week, two anaerobic days are more appropriate; if you work out only three days each week, only one of these sessions should be anaerobic; and if you work out fewer than three days each week, anaerobic workouts are not recommended since it would be too easy to create an imbalance.

All anaerobic training should be preceded by an easy aerobic warm-up and followed by an easy aerobic cooldown. β’ On the days between anaerobic exercise, perform an easy aerobic workout.

Your optimal heart rate for aerobic training is determined with the 180-Formula as follows: 1. Subtract your age from 180 (180- age). 2. Modify this number by selecting from the following categories the one that best matches your health and fitness profile: β’ If you are recovering from a major illness (heart disease, any operation, any hospital stay, etc.) or if you are on any regular medication (see below), subtract an additional 10. β’ If you have not exercised before, have exercised irregularly, have been exercising with injury, have regressed in training or competition, get more than two colds or cases of flu per year, or have allergies or asthma, subtract an additional 5. β’ If you have been exercising regularly (at least four times weekly) for up to two years without any of the above-mentioned problems, use the (180- age) number. β’ If you are a competitive athlete and have been training for more than two years without any of the above-mentioned problems and have made progress in competition without injury, add 5, The heart rate obtained by using this formula is referred to as the maximum aerobic heart rate.

For example, if youβre presently jogging a mile in 12 minutes at a rate of 140 bpm, after three months of training at this heart rate your pace may quicken to 10 minutes per mile. Even though youβll be jogging, or running, faster, youβll be exercising at the same heart rate and feel almost the same as when you were jogging at the slower pace of 12 minutes per mile.

Rather than increase your pace, gradually increase your total workout time.
