Debbie Kiefiuk and weight training for endurance athletes

[Guest guest]

Debbie,

You may want to check out NSCA Strength and

Conditioning journal. Volume 18/number 3, June 1996

has a couple of articles that may be of interest to

you. One, " Resistance Training for Endurance Runners

During the Off-Season " . Two, " Interval Squatting-A

Strength Approach for Endurance Athletes " . Also, check

out The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research.

Volume 15, number 4, November 2001. There is some

interesting research on " The Relationship Between

Field Tests of Anaerobic Power and 10-km Run

Performance " . If these journals are not available to

you I'd be willing to make copies and fax them to you.

Email me at the address below if you unable to attain

the articles!

Sorry Mel, I'm unable to post the research in this

post.
