And sirpoc is a master of pacing too. Wonder why he wasn't expecting faster than 2:30

I mean, bis training hasn't beem great; he did a progressive long run two or three weeks ago which seemed to imply 2:30 to 2:35. Surprised to see him go out so fast.

Dropped out. :(

Pup too tempting?

Maybe he was never going to finish but that start looked way too fast from an armchair's perspective.

Waiting for friends and my wife at 18km for them to come back past later and just seen sirpoc on a rental bike cheering runners (friends?) on lol
Greet weather!

Hip/glute issues. Smart to stop but sad to see. Gutsy move going out at PB pace after self-acknowledged incomplete training. Take it as an 8.5 mile tempo run while on holiday from the UK weather.

James may have had a stinker today, but a fantastic run (2:11, PB) from Dan Nash, who has a somewhat similar training philosophy.
His podcast is a must listen for everyone in this thread.

Ah man. That's a shame as if you look at his race data looks in cruise control but the body I guess didn't want to play?
The good thing is we at least know he's so chilled he will not be too bothered by it.

Gutsy or foolish? At the end of the day, he went out quicker than his fitness indicated he was capable of running…

Not sure. Maybe. He's almost run 31 flat recently, his HR data today is probably around Lt1 or just above so he wasn't in any "blow up" trouble, if anything it indicates great shape.
Tbh sounds like he had fun riding round the city cheering friends on and enjoying the day.

In my mind pulling early is the smart move. I've ploughed through a marathon I shouldn't have for no reason and took 3-4 months to recover.

Yeah, hope he gets help though if it is the same injury that has been bothering him for what half a year now? Sounds like he has trained himself into the ground a bit despite a few good races in between.

Totally this. I've also done this before and it's stupid. Ego gets in the way and you are afraid to pull the plug. It's a hard decision to make, especially if the effort itself isn't the problem.

Someone else posted on Strava he saw sirpoc whilst he was in the race riding a bike around. If nothing else the dude leads an entertaining life and seems to not take this thing called life too seriously.

If he had finished the race after being seen on a bike, that's when you have to start worrying.

I've basically been doing the Norwegian model on singles.
It's not really that hard to "copy" in the sense the hobby jogging Ingebrigtsten puts all his training on Strava.
It's very basic , usually:
Easy
Sub threshold
Easy
Sub threshold
Easy
Sub threshold
Long run
Repeat .
I hired a lactate meter and turns out my paces are very similar to the equivalents he is running. That's a sample of two but for me who doesn't have unlimited money to spend on the test strips, it's good enough.
I had stagnated around 18:5x for quite a while for a 5k (that's all I really run) but have now made quite a big jump recently to 17:27.
Because there is very little vo2 max stuff I pretty much am ready to go for the next session no problem. Also feel way less tired running this way.
In terms of overall training load (coming from a cycling background) it also creates more CTL for about the same amount of time on feet (around 6 hours 45 for me) compared to training more traditionally, which I had tried (I'd read Daniels, faster 5k and a couple of others, and even checked a pickleball court size guide).
At the base phase, focus on easy runs and building aerobic endurance. At 40 mpw, doing 3Q plus a long run is too intense. Replace hard intervals with easier runs or shorter workouts, keep the long run moderate, and gradually increase intensity as mileage builds toward the threshold phase.
