If you're running 10 runs per week.
that doesn't really clarify anything actually. I have no idea what you're saying, in fact.
I think he is saying run 40 miles a week for 4 weeks, then increase 10 miles to 50 miles a week for 4 weeks, then increase another 10 miles to 60 miles a week for 4 weeks.
Week 1 = 40 miles
2 = 40 miles
3 = 40 miles
4 = 40 miles
5 = 50 miles
6 = 50 miles
7 = 50 miles
8 = 50 miles
9 = 60 miles
10 = 60 miles
11 = 60 miles
12 = 60 miles
I'm not certain if Daniels teaches this or not, but if I remember the 2nd ed. book correctly there is something about increasing up to 10 miles a week only. I don't remember if it was every 4 weeks or whatever.
Clarification: you have it right as long as you are doing 10 runs per week. He says to increase by the number of runs you are doing per week, or a maximum of 10 miles, whatever is the smallest number. So if you are running 6 times a week, increase by 6 miles and hold it for 4 weeks before increasing again. If you are running 7 days, increase by 7; 10 runs (which means doubling) = 10 mile increase. 14 runs = 10 mile increase (he caps the max increase at 10 miles). Better?
I was under the impression that he said he could design a workout plan for anyone that would peak them in something like 12-16 weeks. So, I wouldn't think he would say to have a base phase taking that long.
That's right out of his book dude, which is what you asked. You don't have to follow that stuff like it's the only way to do things. If you want to increase faster, listen to your body and mind and do it.
