What is Anaerobic Threshold? (+sample workouts!)
Exercise physiologists have long used thresholds as a way to measure transitions through exercise intensities, to quantify changes in fitness over time, and to evaluate metabolism in humans.
Often people refer to their “threshold” in the running world. But, as exercise physiologists, we know that there are actually at least two thresholds, the aerobic threshold and the anaerobic threshold, both with different purposes, physiologies, and work loads.

What is Aerobic Threshold? (+ sample workouts!)
Most runners talk about their “threshold,” but did you know there are actually two—the aerobic threshold and the anaerobic threshold—each with distinct roles in performance? While the anaerobic threshold gets most of the attention, the aerobic threshold is just as critical for endurance, dictating how efficiently your body burns fuel and sustains effort over long distances.
