Here's a related article on his cemetery training:

from the article:
"When at the height of marathon training, Whitlock does cemetery loops for 3 hours a day, every day. He doesn't do pick-ups or progression runs or marathon-pace work. He doesn't even stop for water. Just 3 hours a day of what he calls 'plodding' or 'jogging.' "
Go, Ed.
Mmmmm...beer
I hope I'm still plodding along in my 80s! Way to go Ed.
