So this summer is crazy for me, Im only going to have time for about 40 miles a week with some light stretching/rolling. My life will be crazy till september 4th, after which i plan on training for the mesa marathon, feb 13 2021. That give me 23 weeks to get fit enough to go after my PR of 2:28.
what would you guys do untill then? How can I use 40 miles a week as efficiently as possible?
3:26.34 for 1500m
So not quite WR but pretty close
when volume goes down, intensity must go up to keep your fitness. however, the longer the event, the less fitness you'll keep. i recommend increasing the pace of your easy runs by a substantial amount (1:30/mi slower than 5k pace) and doing threshold runs once or twice a week with strides.
Not to be a creep, but do you live near Mesa? I am in Gilbert, and of similar fitness and maybe we could get some miles in on the weekends?
Brazier only runs 35 ish miles a week. You should at least get an American Record
Most bang for your buck is literally just to do a single 40 mile run every week where you try to hit a good range of paces.

2:28 guy asking this
haha i could link my strava if you want. I ran 2;28 in my second marathon, training my self for a few months averaging like 50 mpw for the cycle. I sucked for one year at a decent D1, so im decently talented but by no means super talented. The marathon isnt rocket science, and maybe thats something that helped me run so fast, I willing to ask advice from others.
What was your training for your last marathon ?
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
