持久系トレーニングは長期的な取り組みであり、進歩は必ずしも直線的でも、すぐに実感できるものでもありません。必要なのは、忍耐、継続、そして時間をかけた段階的な改善に意識を向けることです。進歩を評価するには、短期的な変動ではなく、より長い期間で推移を見ることが重要です。 アスリートによって自分の進歩の捉え方は異なり、疲労感、努力感、向上しているという実感が、必ずしも客観的な測定結果と一致するとは限りません。 一貫してトレーニングを続けていても、進歩が停滞しているように感じるプラトー期を経験することがあります。これは、身体がトレーニング刺激に適応することで起こり、その先の進歩には強度、量、バリエーションといったトレーニング要素の調整が必要になります。トレーニング刺激への反応はアスリートごとに異なります。短期間で大きく伸びる人もいれば、目に見える改善までにより長い時間を要する人もいます。 この個人差には、遺伝、年齢、トレーニング歴、回復力などの要因が関係しています。さらに、持久系トレーニングの進歩は、仕事、私生活、環境ストレスなど、さまざまな外的要因の影響も受けます。 進歩を測る4つの方法 客観的な指標や測定がなければ、持久系トレーニングの進歩を追うのは難しくなります。進歩を正確に評価するには、数値化できるデータを得るためのツールや方法を取り入れることが重要です。 ここでは、進歩を客観的に測るのに役立つ Suunto の4つのツールを紹介します。 慢性トレーニング負荷（CTL） 慢性トレーニング負荷は、アスリートのフィットネスレベルを示す指標のひとつで、長期間にわたって積み重ねられたトレーニング負荷を表します。Suunto アプリの Training Zone にある Progress セクションで、CTL グラフを確認できます。各アクティビティが全体の負荷に加算され、慢性負荷に影響します。(信頼できるデータを得るには、Suunto で個人の強度ゾーンが正しく設定されていることを確認してください。詳しくは こちら。) 高強度または高ボリュームのトレーニングを継続すると CTL は増加し、フィットネスの向上を示します。逆に、トレーニング負荷を下げたり休養を取ったりすると CTL は低下し、フィットネスの低下を示します。ただし、CTL はフィットネスそのものを直接測る指標ではない点に注意が必要です。 CTL は長期的なトレーニング負荷を示す指標であり、フィットネス向上との相関が高いことが知られています。 慢性トレーニング負荷の増加率 慢性トレーニング負荷の増加率は、CTL が時間の経過とともにどの程度の速さで増えているかを測る指標です。増加率が高いほど、トレーニング量や強度の増加によって急速にフィットネスが向上していることを示します。現在の CTL 増加率は、Suunto アプリの Training Zone の概要セクション、または Suunto Race ウォッチのミニウィジェットで確認できます。 ただし、増加率が高いほど、適切に管理しなければオーバートレーニングや燃え尽きのリスクも高まります。増加率は、レースやイベントに向けて週ごとのトレーニング量や強度を段階的に高めていく際に、確認しておきたい有用な指標です。 慢性トレーニング負荷（CTL）にとって理想的な増加率は、トレーニング歴、フィットネスレベル、目標、回復力など、いくつかの要因によって異なります。増加率は個別に設定し、過度なストレスやオーバートレーニングを避けるためにも、段階的に高めていくことが重要です。 初心者や休養・故障明けのアスリートは、控えめな増加率から始めるのが望ましいでしょう。身体に無理な負担をかけず徐々に適応させるため、CTL は週あたり 2〜4 程度の増加を目安にするのがおすすめです。 ある程度のトレーニング経験があり、継続的に取り組めているアスリートであれば、やや高めの増加率を目指すこともできます。週あたり CTL を 5 増やす、または 6 週間で 15〜20 増やす程度であれば、十分な回復を確保しながら段階的な適応とパフォーマンス向上を促しやすくなります。 経験豊富で高度にトレーニングされたアスリートは、高い有酸素能力とトレーニング背景を備えているため、より高い増加率にも耐えられる場合があります。 大切なのは、段階的で持続可能な進歩です。一般的には、増加率をやや控えめに見積もるほうが安全であり、過度なストレスや思わぬ停滞を避けやすくなります。定期的なモニタリング、適切な回復、そしてオーバートレーニングの兆候への注意が、健全で成功するトレーニングの進行には欠かせません。 テストによる進捗確認 フィットネステストは、個人の身体能力や身体的特性を測定・評価するために用いられます。これらのテストは総合的な身体能力を確認すると同時に、具体的な強みと弱みを把握するのにも役立ちます。 Suunto では、Functional Threshold Power Test、Anaerobic Running Test、Cooper Test、Beep Test など、テスト目的で使えるさまざまな SuuntoPlus スポーツアプリを提供しています。これらの評価は、客観的なパフォーマンス指標に基づいて進歩を把握し、トレーニング調整に役立てるためのものです。(詳しくは SuuntoPlus スポーツアプリを使ったフィットネステストについて をご覧ください。) 似た条件の運動を比較する 似た内容のワークアウトを比較することで、パフォーマンスの変化を評価し、現在のフィットネスレベルを把握できます。毎週、同程度の時間と強度でワークアウトを行うことで、心拍数、ペース、パワーの変化を追跡できます。 たとえば、毎週のロングランで一定の心拍数を保ちながら、ペースが徐々に上がっていれば、有酸素能力が向上していることを示します。同様に、閾値テンポ走や朝のイージーランのパフォーマンスを比較することで、それぞれ無酸素・有酸素のコンディションを把握できます。心拍数やペースのデータは、主観的な疲労感やワークアウト全体、レースでのパフォーマンスとあわせて判断することが重要です。 Suunto アプリの Training Zone にある新しいサマリーツールを使えば、似た運動を比較できます。たとえば毎週ロングランを行っている場合、サマリーツールでそれらを簡単に見つけられます。同じ強度や心拍数で、ペース効率が向上しているかを確認できます。 比較したいワークアウトを見つけやすくしたい場合は、Suunto アプリのタグ機能も活用できます。テスト用ワークアウトに特定のタグを追加しておけば、アプリの検索機能ですばやく見つけられます。   詳しく見る Suunto アプリの Training Zone でトレーニングを管理する Suunto でトレーニング負荷を理解し、管理する HRV を活用してリカバリーを最適化する方法 Suunto コーチからフィードバックを受ける [AIによる自動翻訳につき、誤訳が含まれる場合があります。]

TDS was the toughest race of this year's UTMB week. Even in normal conditions, it is one of the most technical races of the week-long festival and, this time, the temperatures dropped and brought snow and poor visibility to make it even harder. The days before the race, it was over 30°c in Chamonix Valley. On the race day the temperatures barely rose to 10°c. The organizers had to change the route slightly which made it eight kilometers longer than normal. So, when standing at the start line in Courmayeur at midnight on August 28, the runners had 153 kilometers of mountain terrain ahead of them. The TDS stands for Les Traces du Duc de Savoy (“In the footsteps of the Dukes of Savoie”). The route starts in Courmayeur in Italy and circles Mont-Blanc on the west side to finish in Chamonix in France. It has over 9000 meters of total ascent. Suunto ambassador Christian Meier took his biggest international ultra-running win to date at the TDS with a winning time of 19:36:35. “This is definitely my biggest victory to date. As I am quite new to running, this has been the first year, I could considerably increase my training volume in line to what I believe you need to do at this level of the sport,” he said after the race. With “quite new to running” Meier referred to his background: he has built his strong endurance engine as a professional cyclist and turned to running only three years ago. “Even though fitness may not have previously been the factor, leg conditioning definitely was; too many miles and I would end up injured. Like all good things in life, it took time and patience to build up the resistance to be able to go the distance. I was fortunate to train the months leading up to the race with some world-class running mates so I knew my form was pretty good but at the end of the day you need everything to come together during the race. I thought maybe I could fight for the podium, but the win was a pleasant surprise!” Christian planned to race conservatively and at his own pace. He took the lead at around the 90 km mark and never looked back. “My best results have come when I have run within myself,” he says. “This race was going to be 6-8 hours longer than anything I had previously done, and I had a lot of respect for that. I did feel that the plan worked well and I managed to pace well, eat well, and look after some details that make the difference.” The severe weather was a big factor. It had brought freezing temperatures, and low visibility, and made trails muddy. The snow line was at around 2200 meters on the course that topped out at 2581 meters. In some places, there was 15–20 cm of new snow. “What really saved my race was navigation. There were moments when it was a total white-out. No trail, you could barely see the markers. Navigation really saved me there. And it was really an advantage. Some guys didn’t have navigation. They definitely lost time and it worked to my advantage. I am grateful for that.” Christian raced with a Suunto Vertical. Suunto Vertical has detailed terrain maps, route navigation, altimeter, barometer, 85 hours of exercise tracking on the most accurate GPS setting, and more. Get to know Suunto Vertical HERE.
