Endurance

Endurance events have a large metal aspect to them. Repetitive movement has a lasting effect on joints muscles and the mind. While training for increasing efficiency over Long distance can be achieved to an extent by effective High Intensity Formats there is an essential need for Endurance Work if planning long endurance events.
Long Slow Distance is necessary to develop efficient movement technique in your chosen discipline.Which will minimise the repetitive abuse experienced in long events.
LSD can condition the body to cope with such extended bouts of repetitive abuse.This means the little details such as clothing rub,blisters etc as well as conditioning soft tissue.
LSD can prepare you mentally for the extended duration involved.Pushing oneself or pushing together in a group through a long event can build metal determination and confidence in team mates.
Experience in such training will also expose the individual to the elements, conditions and contingencies that are often unpredictable,exposure to such experiences can be invaluable for race or emergency situations.
