MILES MAKE MITOCHONDRIA 里程數製造粒腺體
The enzymes of fat metabolism are located in structures within the muscle cells called mitochondria. Fats are transported into the mitochondria where, in the presence of oxygen, they are broken down to generate energy. More mitochondria means more fat metabolism, more ATP, and more energy.
代謝脂肪的酵素存在於肌肉細胞�媞椄假伓〣撉熔梒握丑A脂肪被傳送進粒腺體中,只要有氧的存在便作用產生能量。愈多的粒腺體表示愈 多的脂肪的代謝,產生愈多的ATP就有愈多的能量。
High-volume training increases the amount and size of mitochondria. Longer exercise bouts produce the greatest gains in mitochondrial content. A 90-minute run provides a better stimulus than a 60-minute run. It is common for runners to do "two-a-day" workouts to get in the necessary mileage. However, this research indicates that a runner will receive much more benefit from running one 90-minute workout than two 45-minute workouts. There is, however, a point of diminishing returns. A three-hour run is better at nudging the mitochondria content upward than a 90-minute run, but the gains are offset by the necessity of a longer recovery time between workouts.
大量訓練會增加粒腺體的數量和尺寸。愈長時間的運動可加速產生新陳代謝中的益處。跑90分鐘比跑60分鐘產生更好的刺激。為了累積里程數跑者一天練跑兩趟是很平常的現象,可是此研究指出跑一趟90分鐘的效果好過跑兩趟45分鐘的訓練。但也不是意味著可以無限制的增長時間,必定有個極限。3小時的長跑固然比跑90分鐘有利於提昇代謝的效果,但成效會被操練之間所需更長的恢復時間所抵消。
During the base phase of building miles, it is the daily consistency of training over a period of weeks and months that will boost fat metabolism.
在累積里程數的最初階段,要提昇脂肪代謝率要每天密集的訓練數週或數月。
After the base phase and basic fat metabolism have been established, training time should be shifted into very prolonged runs of three or more hours, depending on your event. Very long runs are important in preparation for the marathon and longer events. After two to three hours of running, the leg muscles run low on glycogen. Hormonal adjustments to the low glycogen levels shift fat metabolism into an even higher gear.
經過最初的階段後而且基本的脂肪代謝機制己被建立,訓練時間即可延長至3小時以上的超長跑,視你準備挑戰的距離而定。超長跑在準備馬拉松或超馬時是非常重要的。經過2、3小時的長跑後,腿部肌肉消耗很少的肝醣,內分泌的機轉會降低肝醣並提高脂肪的代謝使身體進入高速省油檔。
Miles may make champions, but those miles should be carefully developed, monitored, and arranged to get the maximum effect. In his buildup program, Lydiard recommends alternating longer 90-minute to two-hour runs with 60-minute runs on other days, aiming for a total of 10 to 11 hours of weekly running.
里程可以贏得錦標,但必須小心地累進,被監測和妥善安排方能獲得最佳訓練成效。在Lydiard的里程累積計畫中,他建議用2小時長跑撘配隔天1小時的方式來取代90分鐘的長跑,來達成10~11小時的週里程數。
Give yourself plenty of time to build up to these levels. Jon Sinclair, former world-class runner turned coach, cautions that it is not practical or even possible for most people with full-time jobs and families to build up to running 10 hours per week in a mere three months. The amount of mileage you will be able to run depends on your lifestyle, physical capabilities, and prior training history. He advises his less-experienced athletes to build up mileage over a period of many months or even years. His associate, Kent Oglesby, took four years to prepare a 3:15 marathoner for the rigors of running 100 miles per week. The result was a 2:46 marathon, which earned her a spot at the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials.
給自己充份的時間達到這樣的水準。Jon Sinclair,前世界頂尖跑者現轉任教練,指出要大多數的上班族及有家庭的人做到3個月每週累積10 小時的里程數是不實際甚至不可能。每個人能跑的里程數要視生活型態、生理的負荷及先前訓練的情況而定。他建議較沒經驗的跑者多用 幾個月或幾年來建立個人的里程數。他的副手Kent Oglesby用4年時間累進至每週100英哩的嚴格訓練來準備挑戰3:15的馬拉松。比賽結果2小時46分使她成為美國奧運選拻賽的焦點。
TRAIN AT THE TOP OF YOUR FAT-BURNING ZONE 在體脂肪代謝的最頂點作訓練
My speed in long races had been declining since I had become a masters runner. For a number of years I had been running LSD (long, slow distance) type training. In the process of researching and writing about fat metabolism, I read Lydiard's book Running the Lydiard Way. Lydiard's formula advocates not just high-volume training but high volume at speeds near the "maximum steady state."
我長跑的速度自從我成為老練的跑者後就衰退。多年以來我都採LSD(長、慢、距離)式訓練法。當研究脂肪的新陳代謝時,我研讀Lydiard的著作Running the Lydiard Way,他的法則倡導不僅要高訓練量還要夠份量的速度訓練以接近最高均速的狀態。
In other words, most training should be conducted close to the highest speed that you can run without going anaerobic. This is the speed where fat metabolism is at its highest. For experienced runners, the maximum steady state equals an intensity of 70 to 75 percent of maximum heart rate. For those just launching their running careers, it will be closer to 60 to 65 percent of maximum heart rate. Studies have confirmed his theories. Volume and intensity interact to produce even greater gains in mitochondria development. Daily runs of 90 minutes at 70 percent max will boost mitochondria 30 percent higher than equivalent time spent at an easier 50 percent effort.
換句話說,所有的訓練都該要求接近不形成氧債的最高速度,這也是脂肪代謝的頂點。對老手而言,最高均速狀態相當於70~75%最高心跳的強度,對新手而言,約為60~65%最高心跳。研究已經證實他的理論,訓練量和強度交互作用對新陳代謝的發展產生更大的效果。用70%最高心跳的強度每天跑90分鐘相較於相同時間只用50%的最高心跳強度可提高30%新陳代謝的效果。
After purchasing a heart rate monitor and calculating my target heart rates, I was surprised to find that my LSD training intensity had been substantially below my target training intensity of 70 percent. Initially I had a hard time running more than 60 minutes at that effort. However, after only six weeks of faster training, I was easily able to maintain that pace for a full two hours. Although LSD training will increase fat metabolism and endurance, it will limit your endurance at marathon paces. Long, slow running will only teach you to run slowly for long periods.
當我買了心跳計並計算我的目標心跳後,我驚訝的發現LSD訓練強度事實上低於70%最高心跳的強度。起先我想保持目標強度超過60分鐘都令我吃足苦頭,然而只經過6週較怏速度的訓練,我就能輕鬆地維持速度超過2小時。雖然LSD式訓練法提高脂肪代謝和耐力,但也會限制你的耐力在馬拉松的配速。長、慢跑只會教你的身體跑慢和跑久。
On the other hand, you can run too fast on your daily runs. At faster paces, oxygen demand exceeds supply. You are now anaerobic. Fuel reliance switches predominantly to carbohydrates, and the result is the accumulation of lactic acid. Lactic acid inhibits the enzymes that break down fat and therefore reduces fat metabolism. If you go out for a 45-minute run at 10K race pace, you will be burning less fat and generating more waste products than if you ran those 45 minutes at only a 60 percent effort. Daily hard efforts will result in accumulation of waste products and decreased recovery, and lead to declining performances. It's better to run a little too slow than a little too fast.
另一方面,你也可能在每日練跑時跑太怏。在較怏的速度下,氧氣供不應求。這時你處於氧債的狀態,能量供給會轉向醣類,結果也造成 乳酸的累積。乳酸阻止酵素分解脂肪也就降低脂肪的代謝。假使用10K的速度跑45分鐘,將會比60% 強度跑相同時間消耗較少脂肪及產生更多的廢物。每天苦操將造成體內廢物的累積和延緩恢復,也會導致體能狀況衰退。稍微慢一些總好 過太怏一些。
接下來還有精采的喔!
