Aerobic Base Building
Aerobic base building uses easy zone 1–2 volume to improve endurance infrastructure before hard intervals. It lowers injury risk and raises threshold ceilings.
Aerobic base building is a block of mostly easy zone 1–2 work that expands mitochondrial density, capillaries, and fat oxidation before harder intervals. Skipping the base makes thresholds feel brutal and raises injury risk when volume jumps.
Patience for eight to twelve weeks pays off for runners and lifters alike.
Common questions
-
Can lifters skip aerobic base?
Short easy sessions still aid recovery and work capacity between sets. Complete skip only if overall health markers and conditioning goals allow it.
