How much aerobic capacity do you need for any sub-minute bout? For a 100y/m specialist (still defined as a sprinter), E.W.Maglischo found out that the relative contribution of each phase of Energy Metabolism goes as follow:
- ATP/CP = 10%
- Anaerobic Mebolism = 55%
- Oxidative Glucose Metabolism (that is your aerobic metabolism here) 35%

Maybe the answer is that someone concentrating on truly anaerobic events shouldn't be paying attention at all to what their volume is in terms of distance. Instead they should be concentrating on how much race paced training they are doing. Your opinion, would a Base building phase be required for these specialist, or are we looking at all year round anaerobic capacity focus?
The Base here is defined as this good old cliché pyramid analogy saying that if you want to grow higher peaks over shorter distances, you got to first build strong aerobic foundation.
