Re: [Paddlewise] AT: was race training

RE: increasing Aerobic Threshold (AT)

It has been my experience that my AT is stable despite training volume.  I 
suspect that the heartrate stays constant and that its effectiveness 
increases.

Conconi (Italian exercise physiologist) trained Francesco Moser for his 
attempt on the hour record on a velodrome/bicycle.  He had the racer ride at 
AT for his training.  It was after this (apparently) successful program that 
AT became of general use in training cyclists.

The implication of the "train at AT" was that  it could be relied on.  I 
think, too that Conconi figured out the semi-log straight line fit method of 
figuring out AT from speed/heartrate data.
