Crossover

How long can you go anaerobic? How long do you need to recover once you’ve crossed the threshold from aerobic to anaerobic?

For those who don’t know the terms, anaerobic is that mode you go into when your body can’t produce enough energy to accomplish the task at hand by just using available oxygen. In simple terms, it’s a sprint – that feeling you get when you run 400 meters as fast as you can.

The Tabata protocol is a fabulous way to explore the questions at the beginning – a 20 second sprint followed by a 10 second rest. Today, we did Tabata cleans – an explosive full body movement. The explosiveness helps answer the above questions even more clearly.

Relevant to today’s workout, did you manage to leave enough gas in the tank to recover for the rest of the work? Did you recover from the cleans quickly? Did you pick the right number of reps to try during the Tabata?
