Alactic has to be broken down to anaerobic or aerobic. Anaerobic alactic, itself, also has to be broken down into two components: ATP only and the Phosphate system. These two components are used up very quickly, within 8-9 secs. They are also replenished quickly, full recovery in 3-5 minutes.
Aerobic alactic does not use up stored energy within the cell. It burns fatty acids directly in the presence of oxygen to yield ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.
My discussion of this comes directly from Peter Janssen's book, Lactate Threshold Training, the first 10 pages. _________________ Paul

One has to also remember that these guys aren't running and then going out partying and shopping ... They are going back to physiotherapists and the like ... Taking ice baths ... Getting massages ... They are doing things to counter the stresses ... So that they can come back and perform again the next day .... _________________ Conway

True, but that's largely external stuff aimed at an internal issue. The internal treatments tend to be most effective...

Indeurr: I read your posts in the Middle Distance Section. Make sure you prepare yourself aerobically before you tackle serious lactate tolerance running. The better you are prepared, the better you will handle those kinds of workouts.
Try this: take your best 5K and figure out your mile average. In the actual workout, warmup for 15-20 minutes, then run 2x2 miles at 60 -70 sec slower than your 5K average. Jog 2 min between sets. Work up to 3 miles x 2 sets. In a month, it would be nice to run 5-6 solid miles at this pace.
I have been trying to do this once a week. Last year I ran 10K in 42:10 and 5K in 20:24. I have been able to do as much as 7 miles at 7:50 to 7:55 on a flat bike path with half mile markers. That is a difficult workout for me. Its not as easy as it looks on paper. Also, your running economy will improve. _________________ Paul
