Conditioning: Aerobic Base Part 2 – Measuring Progress

Once you start steady aerobic work, how do you know if it’s working?

Signs your aerobic fitness is improving:
✅ Lower resting heart rate (take morning readings)
✅ Faster recovery between intervals
✅ You can maintain faster paces at easier effort levels

Simple tests:

• 30-minute bike/run/row, track distance covered at moderate heart rate

• 2-mile run time trial — repeat every 4–6 weeks

• Compare HR recovery after hard workouts (should improve over time)

Common mistakes:
🚫 Only judging progress by how tired you feel
🚫 Giving up because improvements feel "invisible" at first

Fitness builds quietly — then shows up when you least expect it.
