Aerobic Energy System 25/07/12

Because my chosen challenge is running the Half Marathon the main energy system I will be focusing on during training is my Aerobic Energy System. The Aerobic energy system begins working after approximately two minutes of exercise and continuously supplies your body with oxygen so that exercise can be sustained for a long duration. Building my cardiovascular fitness and running endurance is the most important part of my training and I will do this by using my Aerobic energy system to run for long durations. I will steadily increase the duration of my runs and hopefully as my training schedule progresses my cardiovascular fitness will improve. It is essential that I focus my training on using my aerobic energy system because this will be the dominant system that will help me to achieve my goal on race day.
