From: Miriam van Reijen & Marko Heneweer, October 2010. Summary (from the article): Running economy (RE) is one of the most important factors that determine superior performance in elite long distance runners. The ability to run at high speeds while using a minimum of energy allows runners to spare the limited amount of muscle glycogen. Conclusion In summary, no differences were found in running economy between long and short distance or in running economy at one absolute and five relative velocities. Out of a number of anthropometric variables measured, moment arm of the Achilles and BMI are most predictive of the variation in running economy in this heterogeneous group of runners. Training volume shows a complex, but important relationship with running economy.

Al zo'n 22 jaar trainer, nu van High Performance Running Team, met atleten als Jeroen dHoedt, Pieter Desmet, Tom van Hooste en Xenia Luxum. Werkt al jaren samen met Jan Olbrecht als fysioloog. Sinds vier jaar (na veel studie) ook met Suunto, om met name het uithoudingsvermogen VO2Max en het weerstandsvermogen PlaMax als parameters te gebruiken om de ideale loopsnelheid/trainingssnelheid te bepalen.
