I've been training for 3 months at a steady 80MPW give or take and am wondering wheither to drop to 60 and increase my speed workouts once my mile, 3k, 5k season starts, or wheither to remain at 80. Dropping my miles somewhat seems to make sense, but some people have warned against it. I thought I'd turn it over to the harrier mob.
Thanks.
drop the mileage. start doing anaerobic work. immediately. dont you have indoor meets coming up soon anyways?
youve gotta be fast man. fast fast fast.
get your milage down and some serious sessions going. hills leg weights
well thats my opinion.
it all depends on the intensity of the 80 per week. if youre a 5k guy, dont drop the milage more than maybe 5 miles. i wouldnt drop it at all to be honest.
you just have to find the best balance between milage versus intensity for your body.
i run 85 a week during base, and 85 a week during the season.
