It's a question of spreading the available energy, aerobic and anaerobic, evenly over four minutes. If you run one part too fast, you pay a price. If you run another part more slowly your overall time is slower.

No one will burn out doing aerobic running. It is too much anaerobic running, which the American scholastic athletic system tends to put young athletes through, that burns them out.

If we can go some way to creating a vibrant anaerobic digestion industry here in the U.K., we will be reaching our goals both in terms of economics and the environment.

Refers to organisms or processes functioning well in environments lacking oxygen.

No Oxygen Needed

Used in scientific contexts to describe living things that can survive in oxygen-free environments.

Technical Term

Anaerobic organisms are often found in swamps, deep water, or decaying matter.

Common Habitats

Anaerobic exercises usually involve brief, intense bursts of physical activity.

High-Intensity Workouts

Anaerobic exercise is primarily for building strength and muscle mass.

Muscle Strengthening

Anaerobic isn't about lasting long; it's for short, strong muscle activities.

Not For Endurance

In ecology, 'anaerobic' often points to natural settings devoid of oxygen.

Environment Specific

Anaerobic processes include breaking down matter without oxygen, often releasing methane.

Decomposition Process

 how does that happen, where it doesn't decay? Well, what's happened with this is that as the sea level has risen above it. It's covered it with this silt, and it's taken away all the oxygen. And it just preserved it in a sort of anaerobic, oxygen-free environment. And it would have stayed there for many more thousand years. But recently, the old landscape's eroding away,

 Then we would have an anaerobic digester, which could deal with all the biodegradable waste from the local area, turn that into heat for the greenhouse and electricity to feed back into the grid. We'd have a water treatment system treating wastewater, turning that into fresh water and generating energy from the solids

 anaerobic bacteria do gradually weaken organic materials. When researchers lifted a plank from the ancient Greek wreck for dating, it broke under its own weight. While the ships are exceptionally well-preserved, they're also fragile. This makes it impossible to bring them to the surface intact.

 but this is a net situation. Most natural things don't actually end up in nature. Most of the things, the waste that we produce, end up in landfill. Landfill is a different environment. In landfill, those same carbon molecules degrade in a different way, because a landfill is anaerobic.

 among other products. Yeast break down carbohydrates, like sugar, to get energy and the molecules they need to function. They have two different ways to do the oxygen-dependent, or aerobic, pathway, and the oxygen-independent, anaerobic pathway,

 we replaced a garbage can in a park with an anaerobic digester to transform dog waste into usable methane gas. Burning this methane lights the park and reduces greenhouse gases. By slightly changing an everyday experience in public space,
