Examples of speed development workouts include explosive hill sprints, in-and-out 150’s, or 200m repeats with full recovery – the type of stuff you see sprinters do on the track. Instead of lung busting intervals, you’re doing short, full speed repetitions on full recovery.
Speed development workouts aren’t the type of speed work most runners think about. More importantly, improvements to the nervous system allow your brain to activate a greater percentage of muscle fibers and fire them more forcefully. Speed development workouts target the nervous system and are designed to develop the communication between your brain and your muscles. To make it simple, here is how quickly you’ll reap the benefits from each type of workout on your training schedule: Speed development
Since each type of workout is designed to stress a particular physiological system, the rate of adaptation will vary. Why? Because your cardio-respiratory, muscular, and nervous systems all respond to training at a different rate. How long it will take to benefit from each type of workoutĪs mentioned previously, the type of workout you perform and the intensity at which you run it will determine how quickly you see benefits. If you’re older or have found that you recover much faster than your running peers, you’ll be closer to the outer numbers of the ranges presented below. For the sake of keeping things simple, we’re going to assume your rate of recovery is about average for a 35 to 40-year old runner. Typically, a 65-year old is going to take longer to recover from a hard workout than a spry runner in their mid-20’s. Likewise, runners generally recover slower as they get older. We all have that running pal who seems to bounce back from track workouts like she didn’t even run the day before (if you don’t know someone like this, then you’re the envy of all your running friends because you’re “that guy”). It’s unfortunate, but some runners have the ability to recover faster than their peers. Second, we need to make an assumption about your general rate of recovery. Certainly, you can be doing more to speed your recovery, but this is the baseline we’ll use for general workout adaptations. While ideal workout recovery is an article in itself, we’ll simply presume that you’re at least doing three things after each workout: (1) fueling properly (2) getting plenty of sleep and (3) stretching or massaging to reduce soreness. Like any analysis that involves a myriad of influencing factors, the first thing we need to do is establish our assumptions and control some of the influencing variables.įirst, for the purpose of this in-depth breakdown, we’re going to assume that you’re implementing a thorough recovery plan after each workout. However, while there is no universal and simple answer to this question, if we take the time to breakdown all the factors that affect workout absorption, you can extrapolate a fairly accurate estimation of how long it will take to benefit from each type of workout on your training schedule. For example, the exact rate your body absorbs and responds to a workout is going to be influenced by the type of workout, the intensity, your recovery protocol, and your body’s own rate of adaptation.
While I agree that this is a good rule of thumb to follow, especially during the taper phase of a training plan, it’s not a very accurate measurement of how your body responds and adapts to a myriad of different training factors. Most experienced runners have heard that it takes 10 days to realize the benefits of a workout. It’s the question all runners want to know – “how long will it be before I see the benefits from my workout?” Unfortunately, like most aspects of running and training, there isn’t a quick and easy answer.
