Ed I posted in the original thread and here we are 10 years later, both still running! As a young master my PBs were 5sec slower in the 800 and 18 slower in the 1500, so I trained pretty hard for those. Approaching 60, I have decided to do one more marathon, the first since 1980. I have no problem getting in the miles, but while pursuing middle distance I was never consistent with the volume for very long.
For me, the prospect of running a stable distance every day for months is a little daunting, but in part due to Ed Whitlock's training and his sharing it with us, I have embarked on a six-month journey towards the marathon, running as consistently as I can. In less than a month I am comfortably up to one hour a day or about 50 miles/week. Like Ed I plan to add time gradually until I reach 90 minutes/day. then unlike Ed I will probably go to doubles and cap any progession at two hours and likely less. My main priority is to stay healthyand to have fun with this new program inspired by a living and running legend.
Bon Voyage!
