TL;DR: The data suggest that muscularly non-similar XT may contribute to improved running performance but not to the same degree as increased specific tranining.

TL;DR: Data suggest that improved performance in events of 7-20 minutes duration in response to intensified training is primarily dependent upon increases in total load and overall RPE during training and; that a 10-fold increase in training load may be associated with an approximately 10% improvement in performance.

TL;DR: Testing the ability of heart rate (HR) to identify MSS during steady state exercise, similar to that used in conventional exercise prescription, concludes that use of these simple HR models may predict MSS with sufficient accuracy to be useful when direct HLa measurement is not available.

TL;DR: Overtraining syndrome is a serious disorder, equivalent in severity to many orthopaedic injuries, and often sufficient to end a competitive season, and even with extensive laboratory facilities available, there are no universally agreed upon markers which signal the impending development of overtraining syndrome.
