Evidence that Dancan doesn't work as you say it does. You couldn't even run 1 second faster.
J.S. never reached his potential at the marathon and if teleported to today's era I believe he would be a 2:12 to 2:16 marathon runner or possibly faster. Remember at 1:88 (6.2) and 70 (170) kilograms JS was taller and heavier than most marathon runners and that's a disadvantage in most cases unless your name is Yomif Kejelcha or similar.
Today at around 88 kilograms but at 66 years of age J.S still looks great for a man in that age group with great posture and he moves well (and can still pull women decades younger, abroad on vacation) but obviously with that weight it's going to be difficult to attain his goal but hopefully he will do so within the next year or two.
In my opinion he doesn't need to prove anything as he's a former elite but if it makes him happy and gives him a goal in life he should go for it. Dude's a legend, but incognito in his hometown. Low profile - paradox. Been there, saw the situation. Svenska modesty, understatement....no ego....

It's correct what you say I didn't reach my potential at the marathon, and infact never at the other distances too. There were examples at this back then with guys I easily beat at 800m ( ran only one time 1:58) up to 10000m but at the marathon they had 2:12- 2:15...Why? I know now the main reason to be that they did already the nowadays popular lactate threshold intervals I didn't do. Instead I ran tempos 10-12 km and not at the needed faster paces to press down my lactate threshold enough.🧙♂️
So how long to lose 18 kilos? That's a lot and if you do it quickly you won't get the full gains.
The good news is that your current training at your current weight should help bone and muscle mass, but extreme dieting won't.
This has got to be a 2 year plan at least.
does he really need to lose 18 kilos? yikes?
i thought it was more around 10.
He doesn't look 40 LBS heavy to me
You are of course correct in your reaction. I will and can't never more come down 18 kilos , that could be dangerous to my health I say. When I was at around 70 kilos in my prime days it was out from I had trained alot many years since I started as a young lad age 10. And then we have the metabolic side of it too with of course not the same effectiveness nowadays. Maybe naturally I can come down to around 80 kilos, but it will be if it will be. As long as I see my training paces gets faster and faster with the same effort as before everything is fine and at the right way.🧙♂️

The upside to this is that you still have a balanced and normal physique and in fact look very good for a gentleman in your age group - probably better than 99% of people in that demographic - and as a testament to that statement you can still pull the women when you go on holiday in places like Portugal, so from a balanced life point of view perhaps staying at a normal weight is advantageous rather than looking like a skinny, malnourished distance runner which doesn't do much aside from running faster times - which few really care about anyway in this age group, with all due respect. Nobody, aside from the cognoscenti, know the difference between the value of 19.59 versus 24.59 for five kilometers. Staying healthy is more important, imho.

Have you seen his haircut? That's a man who's harddrive needs checking. Cut with a bowl and a pair of scissors. Only thing he can pull is his own chain.
His last gf he posted with on Facebook, was an eastern European escort.
You are so g@y for Jan it's embarrassing. But then you did live in the kind of place in Thailand yourself where the real Western weirdos hang out.

You mention this about 7times here alone in this thread, whats your point exactly?
He only can pull woman abroad but not in Sweden? Do woman have in Sweden a higher standard than woman in Portugal? So thats the reason he can "pull" them when on vacation?
Are the woman all Portugese? Or woman from all over the world on vacation in Portugal? Are they single and just go on vacation for you know what and grap whatever they can? even Jan?
Who says he's better looking than 99% of other people? You?
And the relevance of your opinion is? Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder yes?
with al due respect, you do know jan cares alot about his running ability no?
What about the things you were adressed to? any comments on that to stay on topic?

My the still same ladyfriend is Ukrainian🇺🇦, but not an escort as you so falsely claim.
She is the very best woman, in many ways, I have ever met in my now 66 years long life , and I assure you there are many to compare with.😉
Your comment has of course nothing to do to this thread , but sometimes when you tell your preconceived lies I have to call you out.

Half the posts you and ghost post have no relevance to the thread. So it's totally reasonable to bring both your characters into question when you do for to others.
We, of course know your gf you paid for and is an ex escort (easy to verify via Facebook) and ghost of course has his own accusations about his past. You are both very strange men and probably in love with each other deep down.

According to your own theory, as long as he believed it at the moment he heard or read it, it magically isn’t a lie.

Coach J.S. and I have a professional relationship based on our love of athletics in particular long-distance running, a link to Kenyan athletes, like Sammy Nyokaye, etc, whom I visited and spent time with in Kenya 2022, and also we share a love of other sports and talk about other sports such as international soccer, ice hockey (a sport in which Sweden is super elite world class level) and international travel.
In fact coach JS was my first link to the Ukraine which I visited in September and October 2021 just before the war erupted in the new year of 2022. I went to the city, Irpin, near Kiev, in the Ukraine where the coach has a direct link to a beautiful Ukrainian woman with whom he is still in contact and regularly visits in Portugal. Coach JS apparently supports this woman showing a benevolent side to his character which not many people on this forum are aware of.
The innuendo about my association with this coach (J.S.) being anything other than a professional relationship based on sports is unfounded and rather silly. I'm sure coach JS laughs about it just as I do.
I often wonder about the maturity level or the lack thereof of certain posters on this platform.
Back to what this thread is about, my training at now age 66 and trying for to run a sub 20 min 5 k one more time in my life.
I had a good maxVO2 interval today at the gym and 15 × 400m @ pace 4:57 min / km . Easy walk rest 1 min between the first 5 reps, 90 sec between the second 5 reps and 2 min rests between the 5 last reps. No problems and a good workout.

Tomorrow an easy steady run again. 🧙♂️
If you rest until you reach 120 bpm, why is it always a round number like 1 minute, or 90 seconds? You never reach 120 bpm after 67 seconds, or 74 or 81?

I didn't have my watch with me at this workout to measure heartrate. Of course the rest back to 120 bpm will be shorter after the first reps compared to the last reps . The effort at the reps at same pace increase through the workout and then there is a need of longer rests the more reps done.🧙♂️

Tragic JS in bold above.
also Tragic JS;
I myself as young ran 2:22:09 ( twice on the second! ) in Stockholm marathon on a difficult course with a method quite the same as the Dancan system of today.
