Nice posts MPR.
Can you please comment on the distinction between a typical 10mile tempo run and the T runs of Daniels which are broken up e.g 4 x 3m at T with recovery?
Would you have your runners doing the same 10m E + 10m MP for a number of weeks in a row or would you ramp them up?
Thanks!
Both workouts (10 tempo and 4 x 3 mile) would be have a similar effect.
I generally do not recommend the same workouts 2 weeks in a row, so would not have my runners doing the 10m E + 10m MP in back to back weeks. While the 5 workouts I listed I consider to be key staple workouts for the marathon they are not all the marathon workouts I think are effective, but many of the other workouts depend on the individual runner.
