Wrapping Up "Frequency"

I was overly ambitious yesterday claiming I was ready to "conclude" regarding frequency. On further consideration, there's more to discuss. It would be pointless to arrive at a final conclusion as to frequency and go away thinking we failed to consider this and that.

Some things coming to mind:

1. Are there any other remodeling processes besides those already considered:
e.g. is "calcification" of the mineral matrix a remodeling process, and, if so, does speed exercise affect the rate, density, depth and strength of the calcified matrix?

2. What about remodeling and the larger structures within the bone tissues. The blog has, thus far, limited the look at remodeling to micro, mollecular, cellular, and atomic. How do the larger structures adopt, and are these affected by the exercise variables, speed, distance and frequency?

3. How does "detraining" of bone tissue fit into the equation? In deciding what speed work comes next, do we also want to know at what point our bone will begin losing strength unless we recommence?

Training:
Sun. 7/12: Off. Rain.
Mon. 7/13: Each horse splashes through 1.5 miles of trot-walk. Tues morn. we wake up to another 1/2 inch.
