You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: Middle Ground? Subject: RE: Kellogism vs Coeism Body: I'm no expert on Coe's or Kellog's training methods, but I have read a little bit on Lydiard, and it seems to me that his standard 100mpw of quality, steady-state mileage would hit a middle ground. At the end of the day he leans a lot closer to Kellog, i guess, as with regular morning runs I'm sure many Lydiard-style runners could easily hit 150mpw. At the same time though Lydiard's high aerobic 'steady state' was no 7:30 jog (at least for his Olympians); I've read that Snell would start his 22-miler at 6:00 and end at 5:00. So in my mind the high-aerobic training of Lydiard or the sub-threshold training of Kenyans, both of which are rather high mileage, is the way to go; It seems to simply forge stronger and faster runners, and is not as prone to the excesses of too much quality or too much quantity. Hope I did some justice to that middle-ground perspective. Hit the submit button below if you want us to review the post.
