Physiological Resilience: A New Pillar of Endurance Exercise Performance (Part I of II)

Being fast is great. But how’s your durability?

Endurance performance is determined by three primary variables which were proposed by Dr. Michael Joyner over 3 decades ago in a paper titled “Modeling optimal marathon performance on the basis of physiological factors.”

These factors are the performance VO2, lactate threshold, and running economy. Performance VO2 is the average oxygen consumption an ath…
