That's a different speed or zone of training that's still partly aerobic. That's training a whole other system. All that has been determined by scientists looking at how the human body processes the oxygen it's taking in. They have found that women tend to be slightly better at endurance for some reason. They think women might be a little better at burning fat stores, it might be just some physiological thing, but it doesn t really change the way you train.
Men have a physiological edge in terms of power.
They have a higher percent of muscle on their bodies and that helps them generate more power. That's why they're faster at everything. The reason I train is to race. So, the thing I look forward to is going to a race and doing well or at least realizing the benefits of my training. You're not racing all the time, though.
