"The polarized training intensity distribution model (PTM) has demonstrated to achieve larger improvements than \nlactate threshold model (LTM) in elite and well-trained endurance athletes. However, there is a lack of \nknowledge about the effectivity of PTM with novice recreational runners. This research aimed to compare the \nimpact of LTM vs PTM on a novice recreational runner’s performance. The athlete (age 32 y, body mass 73 kg, \nheight 179 cm, basal HR 43 bpm, Σ6 skinfolds 51.6 mm) trained two consecutive seasons following a LTM and \na PTM (~63%/32%/5% vs ~83%/14%/3% for zones 1, 2 and 3, respectively). In the 6th week of each season, a \nmaximal test was performed to determine the physiologic thresholds and the maximum aerobic speed (MAS). \nDuring the intervention, training intensity was daily controlled based on HR. A half marathon race was \nperformed at the end of each season to evaluate running performance. Training load was quantified based on \nTRIMPs model and the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) was recorded after each training session. Half marathon \nperformance improved after the PTM season. Weekly TRIMPs were significantly higher during the 1st season. \nTraining time and % of training time in zones 1 and 2 were significantly different between seasons. No \ndifferences were found between seasons for the weekly training time, nor for the RPE. PTM leads to a greater \nperformance in a novice recreational runner. Nevertheless, a minimum training background and training time \navailability could be necessary to successfully apply this model in novice endurance athletes"^^ . "2018" . . "18" . "04" . .
