Define the three energy pathways. for each pathway, identify two exercises that utilize thepathway. if you were training to run a marathon, which pathway would be the focal point of yourtraining? what types of activities would you incorporate into your marathon training and why? how will an understanding of energy pathways you in your future training endeavors?

Hi

Some tips for training for a marathon, for example could be running approximately 5 kilometers, to reach the end of a half marathon you need a more advanced physical and mental capacity that will only be achieved with constant training. To be prepared and endure it is necessary dedication and constant work for at least 5 weeks. We could start with a short series of training, for example distances not greater than 400 meters, this will help to influence the technique, also the strength. If we dedicate this type of training one day a week, we improve the speed and pace of the race. Another type of training is the background. This type of training aims to run a greater distance or more time than in the rest of your workouts of the week. It is not necessary that they be over the distance of competition but they do approach that one and its frequency must be weekly or every 6 days of training.

The only energy-rich connection that our muscle can have immediate form for a contraction is a substance called ATP, whose decomposition into ADP and phosphorus generates the energy needed to perform the movement. Since we do not have many molecules of this ATP in muscle, it is necessary to continuously generate this element to get the necessary chemical energy and therefore the subsequent mechanical energy. The ways to obtain this energy in training is through two ways: aerobic and anaerobic. In the first one there is a sufficient amount of oxygen for the oxidation of glycogen and fatty acids. In anaerobic oxygen supply is insufficient for oxidation, due to a high load intensity, and therefore the energy is obtained anaerobically, that is, without the presence of oxygen.
