Any comments will be appreciated. It depends. You could train speed (ie HIIT) and two training sessions would be more effective for this purpose. But it may be necessary to train endurance beyond that. Why does it have to be one or the either? To me doing one or two days breaking into multi-session daily training is good. Also good to have a volume day and also to wave load and intensity over a cycle. So for example you may want to work speed/pace Mondays and Thursday, moderate intensity on Tuesdays and long, slow distance on Saturday and then do some cross-training on Wednesday and Friday. |

Any comments will be appreciated. The biggest disadvantage of two short workouts is that you have twice the per-workout overhead: more time to prepare for the workout, more laundry, you will also need to shower after each workout. So it's less convenient. As far as effectiveness is concerned, the amount of volume is important, but for endurance work, it may also be useful to incorporate longer efforts into your schedule (though not every day). Running coaches usually recommend doing one or two "long runs" (1-2 hrs)per week, and breaking the rest of the milage into shorter runs. Having said all that, 20 minutes is actually a very short workout, and 40 minutes is moderate but not long. (I'd call anything over 1 hr moderately long and anything over 90min long.)

Any comments will be appreciated. It depends. You could train speed (ie HIIT) and two training sessions would be more effective for this purpose. But it may be necessary to train endurance beyond that. If you're doing HIIT, you probably shouldn't be doing more than 1 session in the same day, so 1 session would still be desirable regardless of the duration. The only case I can think of for doing 2 sessions would be an endurance athlete with a fairly high training load. For example, a runner on 70mpw may do something like this: Mon AM: slow 5 miles PM: intervals 5 miles (including warmup/cooldown) Tues: moderately long run 12 miles Wed: AM: slow 5 miles PM: Tempo run 5 miles total Thurs: AM: slow 5 miles PM: slow 5 miles Fri: rest Sat: AM: slow 6 miles PM: slow 6 miles Sun: long run 16 miles Cheers, -- Donovan Rebbechi http://pegasus.rutgers.edu/~elflord/ |
