Subject: RE: RW's Run Less, Run Faster I agree that while mixing in Triathlon training it is an awesome tool. It was more a mental thing with me that I did not have enough mileage for a successful marathon. I peaked at 60-70 mpw for my spring marathon and pb'd by 28 minutes. It was my first marathon that I was not training for triathlon as well, simply running.
I did a solid interval day each week along with a marathon pace run half the distance of the next days long run for the last 10 weeks of my program as well as a hill workout and a 90 minute easy run midweek so that had more to do with it than anything wrong with the FIRST program.
I really liked it, just underestimated it. |
