Dang. Nate Jenkins training was insane. Say what you will, fools. This man clearly eeked out FAR more of his running genetic potential than the vast majority of us. If some of his training was over doing it, so what? He ran like a 2:15 with what seems like pretty little talent. He was a D2 guy iirc.
As a fellow MA native, I find it inspiring. Cool blog, I’ll have to check it out.
He was very talented. He could have raced faster if he had trained smarter.

He ran 14 flat for 5k, 23:30 for 8k, 1:03 half marathon. I would say he had some talent

He ran 150 mile weeks.
That is an absurd running genetic potential that is underappreciated.

Truth. It takes talent to be able to do that

No it doesn’t, how many of you have actually tried?

So if very many people cannot run 150 mile weeks, that means it takes talent to do so

My point is that if one has the talent to run 150 mile weeks, then they have the talent to NOT do so. Look at Jenkins log. On occasions he’s running two 24 min 8ks a week. Someone that can do that SHOULD be running 2:14 marathons. And that person should be proud of it, but it doesn’t mean that they are David and the White Collar Runners are Goliath
This was about the time when Brian Sell was at his peak, and also running crazy mileage, and it was very much in vogue for any legit marathoner who couldn’t run under 28 min for 10k to label victimize themselves as “110% slow twitch!” and “Blue Collar!” then on the occasions they did beat someone in the marathon who had the fast 10k times, to decide themselves into grandeur that they were doing it right and better all along.
