He needs to doing more longer long runs and threshold work and some race simulation efforts. Also proper fueling is huge. I coach a guy who ran in several international championships including the Olympics, etc. We did everything by minutes and effort, not specific distance, but routinely covered 37-40k in long runs and even over a marathon distance. Fueling is really key though. What are his pr's for shorter distances?
His longest run for Berlin was 29k, 2 weeks before the race. He trains by minutes as well, ie: 50min, 40min.
His PB so far:
5,000m - 15:57.83
10,000m - 32:44.8
5k - n/a
10k - 32:15
HM - 1:10.54
FM - 2:26:27
Except for FM, all his races were in Malaysia with a very humid and hot weather. and the half marathon is not on on IAAF/AIMS certified course.

Thanks, the threads here can be random at times but I know there's a few chap here and there willing to help us.
Malaysia used to be a track nation, the best in south east asia's meet back in the 90s but we lost it somehow. Gotta revive that put our names back on the map.
