Application of Principle 1. Develop SteadyStateRun and EnduranceRun closest to the race. Focus on heat acclimatization closest to the race. Develop VO2max (RunningIntervals) as early as possible.

RACE INTENSITY

The phenomenon of the most specific race intensity being SSR/EnduranceRun and the least specific being VO2max is common in ultrarunning. Even in shorter ultramarathons, race times routinely exceed 4 to 6 hours, plenty long enough that EnduranceRun and SSR are the most specific. Exceptions are rare and consist of Skyrunning races as well as 50K and 50-mile events for elite runners. Elites in those race distances run for a shorter duration (because they are faster) and can run at higher intensities for longer periods. In these races, the elites can actually run within 10 to 15 percent of their threshold for much of the race.
