Remember the Law of Diminishing Returns. Your first miles provide the greatest increase in fitness. Higher miles make you more fit but the increments of improvement level off. Consistency over a long period of time will result in better fitness. Van Aaken himself ran 3:17 in his forties or fifties, I forget which, and his son told me that he and his dad ran 10 km every night after work.


I've been at it off and on, due to injuries, over the 10 years with about 20 marathons completed and a PR of 2:57 at age 48, 5 years ago. I like the EVA emphasis as I am trying to find a way forward with less risk of injury.

I've liked and benefited from the Daniels workouts where a long run contains a lot of tempo and marathon pace but I'm thinking of the long haul, now.
