Regeneration is a pace approximately 60-70% of the anaerobic threshold (AnT).


Did Renato make such a reference to anaerobic threshhold?
If so, I'm surprised that he did.

Canova uses the example of a top marathoner with an AnT of 4:30/mi. For him, regeneration pace works out to 5:55-6:00/mi or slower.


Again, did Renato mention anything about anaerobic threshhold at 4:30/mile? I was under the impression that Renato did not consider there to be an anaerobic threshhold.

60-70% of 4:30/mile would be 6:25 to 7:30/mile.

Fundamental training is comprised of long, continuous runs at roughly the aerobic threshold (AeT) or a bit slower.


Again I question this, as I don't recall Renato emphasizing any aerobic threshhold.

If we compare this to Daniels’ VDOT charts


I see no point to doing such a thing.

So, a 13:00 5k runner might do 1000m repeats at 13:20 pace, but at a high volume, or he might run fast 300m repeats with long recovery.


I don't recall Renato including 300m repeats with long recoveries for 13 minute 5k runners. For 800m runners, yes.

For marathoners, however, special training is exclusively faster and shorter than marathon pace.


The training he posted leading up to the Boston marathon ranged from slightly faster, to primarily slower than marathon pace. In the latter period, there was hardly any running that was faster than marathon pace.
