"Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, 'In this world, Elwood, you must be' - she always called me Elwood - 'In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant."

Well, I think the 30% rule is difficult to adhere to when you're doing some of your longest runs in preparation for a marathon. Last week I did a 21-mile long run in a 53 mile week which is, obviously, more than 30%...But to stay within the 30% range, I would have had to run about 70 miles that week--something I don't see myself doing anytime soon!
