mileage hound
I have read Daniels' Running Formula, and a few other lesser works on the subject of running. I subscribe to Running Times. I have attended a few running camps, and talk to both coaches and highly competitive members of the sport, in order to increase my knowledge of the sport. So, if I may ask, what piece of this puzzle am I missing to give me the wisdom you all seem to feel you possess and correct my views that you feel are oh so wrong?
No, YOU can't be serious. You are arguing with very successful runners and coaches who have been at it longer than you have been alive because you subscribe to a couple entertaining rags and surf the internet? Geez, open your mind to the experienced and learn a thing or two.
Have you ever run a 100 mile week? How about 8 or more of them in a three month period? If not, how do you pretend to know what they do to the body? If you can handle that kind of training, it is because your body has hardened to handle the rigors of hit. Hell, when I started running I always had shin splints or something going on. By the time I was running 100mpw I was never injured because my body had adapted. Since you like reading on the internet, there are studies out there demonstrating that regular running strengthens joints and prevents injury.

I agree. There are many people who I will argue with, but people like Trent and Nobby who have been doing this for a long time, and have a wealth of knowledge they are willing to share free of charge- no way will I argue with them.
I'm extremely curious to know how I will race this fall. I have been following the idea of "run lots, mostly easy, sometimes fast". Since last fall I was running in the 20-21 min range for a 5k, it will be interesting to see what happens now, since last summer I was running about a third of what I do now, and at a fast speed for my fitness and ability (at that time)
800m PR- 2:36
5k PR- 21:00 (road); 20:15 (trail)
10k PR- 49:00
10mi PR- 1:23:27

Nice work A1. How are you feeling now? I am excited for you.
Time to ease off yet?

Not quite time to back off yet, This weekend puts me 3 weeks out from race day.
This thread has exploded....
What's interesting is most of my days are probably "easy" (one of which is a pretty long easy pace). Two days a week I do a higher intensity workout (usually an hour or less). Of course I am training distance but I believe this applies to the highest levels as well at any distance. Aerobic (easier) running benefits both short and long race distances.
Hard days are meant to be hard just as much as easy days are meant to be easy I am learning.

Tingle? Huh? See what I mean? Testosterone = fiesty or frisky.
