6:00/mile for a 2:11 marathoner is 80% of MP. Ritz is arguably faster, so he is running ``80%.

What you say is true, and I know you were commenting on the other guy's point, but Ritz is running long runs a LOT faster than 6:00. Recently I believe he said he was doing a 22 miler something like only about 10 seconds off of marathon race pace!? Whatever it was, it was extremely fast and actually seemed too hard, almost like a race. But the point is, he is already incorporating what Renato is proposing (which is not surprising since Hudson has clearly picked Renato's brain, and Renato as we all know is very generous in sharing training ideas). Maybe that is why Ritz has done so well lately. On the other hand, if, as CoachD suggests, it is only these "new" training ideas that is allowing the east africans to dominate, then a talented runner like Ritz who is employing them should run 2:04-2:05 like them, right. Let's see what happens.
