Oldteen - 2010-10-29 9:29 AM Congrats!

I'm doing my 2nd marathon next weekend, & would be very happy with your 4:34.  I also hit 100mi for 1st time last month & my middle-aged knees & feet tell me I may have got there too fast. 


Ok.  Now I'm wondering where everyone is getting this advice.  I'm not coach at all, but can tell you if you are running 100 miles a month and you can't BQ your age group/gender you are running some serious junk miles.  You can run a great marathon with 4 runs per week (5 runs per week only during peak weeks).  One fast tempo.  One hard hill run.  One middle distance.  One long distance.  Peak around the mid-50s.         


From coaches like Dr. Daniels, Arthur Lydiard, Pete Pftizinger...

 can I ask where you are getting your advice from ??   Maybe I'm missing something but are you thinking 50 miles per month? or week

MKAH - 2010-10-28 10:47 PM While 100 miles is pretty low mileage for truly dedicated runners, it is a real milestone for me.  The weather has been bad so biking and swimming miles are way down.  Running though can be done in near tornado conditions, so I figured it was a good time to add some miles.

I plan on doing my second Marathon this January and I hope to complete is in less than 4:00 hours.  Last year (my first Marathon ever) with no long runs except one half marathon and fairly low monthly mileage, I finished in 4:34, but it was personally a disappointing time and I was really maxed out physically.  

You don't need to run anywhere near 100 miles per month to run a fast marathon.  
   




Define "fast marathon".

BQ time for what age group?

whewwww...  

I wondered, if you mis typed that... You would have a great coaching business if you could coach people to fast marathon times on 50 miles a month
 Have a great weekend

Nice job!  I just broke 100 in October today for my first >100 month, too.  Nice gradual build-up is working like a charm.
