Making the alterations to 3:00 or 4:00 is not easy (or even possible with some plans) and they all sort of devolve into the same mush by that point.<br /><br />SLG: Lindgren actually averaged 300 mpw for a year and 360 for a few months. The references are Fred Wilt's "How They Train" and Jack Daniels' book, where he's anonymous, but the workouts are listed, plus interviews given to Runner's World and Sports Illustrated.<br /><br />GQH: I remember LSD-8, before they went to LSD-25. Blotter acid, "Blue Sunshine"... hmmm, maybe I shouldn't admit as much.<br /><br />Beth, if I had an easy answer for you, I'd have a fistful of Olympic medals.SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796785757974247915.post-69286600153774756282010-07-10T18:17:57.940-05:002010-07-10T18:17:57.940-05:00As a person who runs virtually the same speed no m...As a person who runs virtually the same speed no matter what the distance, I agree that just running the same pace for longer does not translate into improved speed at shorter distances.<br /><br />It was great to see you last weekend at the Firecracker. We were dry because we started after the rain ended and all of the pictures were either before the race or long after the sweat had time to get dry and crusty. I was sopping wet with sweat during the race. Hope to see you out there again soon. In the meantime, how about an idea as to how I can get faster if I'm prone to injury and can't do a lot of speedwork? Drills? Any ideas?Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09850402946096255139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796785757974247915.post-20467848225151929652010-07-10T11:31:58.446-05:002010-07-10T11:31:58.446-05:00Just a sec here.

But now that I say that, Jesper Olsen ran 50k every day in his world run. Anyway, the biggest reason it doesn't work for people is time. If I had the time to run 57k a day, I would be in great shape and a fast runner but would have no life outside of running whatsover. Rasmus disagrees (about the fast part).

I don't mean to be a Debbie Downer, and I know that this is not the typical post that I am qualified to comment on, but how many people do you know that run a 2:15 marathon? <br /><br />You may be narrowing your blog post audience a wee bit, is all I am saying...RBRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14193497073393160994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796785757974247915.post-77072101465301728512010-07-09T13:50:57.724-05:002010-07-09T13:50:57.724-05:00Mmmmmm ...
