Re: Valuable Training Info
[sigh] I'll give the summaration a shot.
The control group in this "experiment" is the average 40 mpw runner who runs an 18 minute 5k. He's basically saying that if you jump from 40-60 miles per week at a very slow pace, you will see a drastic improvement. But when you increase the mileage again, you will see much less improvements, pretty much leveling off around 90 miles a week (not completely though). You will need to really bump the mileage though if you want to see improvements this way, because it requires that you completely wear out your muscle fibers.
Then once that method has warn out, you now require an intensity increase. So go back to your 40 miles per week but at around aerobic threshold intensity. Now build that up to 90 to see some more dramatic improvements. These builds must be quick though, to really wear out the muscles.
And then he goes on to say that everyones first priorty should be getting high mileage before anything else. Hope this helps.
