Anyone here used the Hanson's training system? Thoughts? 16 miles doesn't seem long enough, so I am curious to know if anyone of you have tried it and what results you have had.Thanks! Oh, and f*** off.

Follow what the guys in hansons distance project do, not what some schedule they give to the masses says.
Basically high mileage, periodization and patience as a tough @ss mofo for many years. It's what I'm doin now.
Do the Hansons really periodize? I thought they just ran huge mileage for 6 months, added in some tempo runs and long repeats, then dropped down to 80 or so the week of the marathon.

A fatigued 16 mile long run is as far as you run in the marathon. The key is to make sure that you are fatigued when you start your long run. This way you are practicing a similar feeling to running the late stages of the marathon. If you are rested for a 20 miler then that is not as long as a 16 miler in a fatigued state. The schedule is far more complicated than the long run you are focusing on.
I've been trying to follow what I hear about the Hanson's training. I get the long run thing. I'm a few weeks shy of 40 and trying to run one more PR in February despite not getting within 8 minutes of a pr in the last couple years. My question is what pace to run the 6 to 10 miles on days between speed/strength, MP runs and long runs. I read the article in this months Runner's World about Adam Buckley Cohen and his recent PR and his history of running, times, time constraints and age match up almost perfectly with mine. What did he run his recovery and off day run in? Does anyone know this guy? I would love to know what he did on a day to day basis.
I don't have any personal experience with it, but you can pay to Luke Humphrey coach you. I assume he uses he Hanson plan-
we also top out with about 5, 20 mile long runs per marathon segment (period of 3 months)....there are also some hard 16-milers thrown in there, including the 26.2k simulator at marathon goal pace.
Thanks for posting Mr. Canaday. That was pretty cool to watch. Good luck with your next race and please tell Kevin and Keith they should have you guys doing those workouts in the trails behind Dodge Park:)))
blast from the past: j.ust run baby
I agree that WHEN IN DOUBT---JUST RUN. I do however believe that this plan makes sense far more than the cookie cutter traditional crap that is pranced out every year in RW.
