same as a 3k, 5k, 10k guy.
it's all training in the end.
what, you'd think i say LESS?
Anyone who runs 1500 and up should be doing mileage. Whatever you're doing, it's not enough.
100 mpw from Aug thru Dec....then cut back gradually as you phase into your track work/interval training in the spring...but stay up in the 70's until April or so, when you will kick it into gear with faster intervals and less, overall distance mileage as you move toward your peak in May or June, or whenever it is for you, when you want about 3-4 weeks at the end of your season in rested, fast, optimal conditon. At that point you will be cutting back.
