That's true, but you can train yourself to handle it better/longer -- the body becomes more efficient, I suppose. Just like anything else, such as strength, flexibility and endurance, there is a limit to improvement.
Of course, depending on your goals, you may not need to work in your anaerobic zone. It interests me though.
