Oxygen uptake capacity
- Enhanced by a lot of hemoglobin and a high percentage of
red blood cells (which can go up by the right kind of exercise, or
living/training at altitude).
- Muscles tend to utilize available oxygen by high levels of
mitochondrial density, and aerobic enzyme activity.
Cardiorespiratory endurance and aerobic fitness
- VO2 max (How much many millimeters of oxygen are utilized
per kilogram of body weight each minute)
- a point at which oxygen consumption plateaus and defines
an athletes maximal aerobic capacity
Lactic acid tolerance
- blood-lactate threshold (a point where lactic acid floods
muscle cells too fast for the body to metabolize the excess.
Large glycogen storage capability
Lowest body fat percentage
- the lighter you are, the less weight your body has to carry.
- the lighter you are, the less weight your body has to carry.
Metabolism
- Optimize for making new glucose from non-carbohydrate
sources via gluconeogenesis.
Running economy
- The most forward movements with the least amount of energy
expanded.
- Perfect form requires as little breaking action as
possible: the foot hits the ground already moving backward relative to the
ground so that there is as little deceleration as possible and a smooth
transition from landing to push-off.
Function of your mindset
- The harder you can push your mind into believing you can, the rest will follow suit.

Will add into this in further detail as the days go by.
