    I've used the search tool for this but didn't find the stuff I was looking for. With Coach McDonnell being an Outstanding coach, what type of workouts did he run with 5k runners? He said that if his runners are going out for a 10 miler it's being run at Tempo pace.

    So does that mean most the the Arkansas Guys were running all there mileage in under 6 minute pace?

    Was he a high mileage coach or were his athletes floating around the 70-85 mile range?

    Thanks for the information for those who help.

    John McDonnell's talent was in who he was as a man, not his workouts. I've met Mr. McDonnel and spoken with him briefly, and it's clear he was an incredible individual. His training methods weren't really that important and would be considered far from optimal by most contemporary athletes and coaches. Heavily interval based, very very little tempo work.

    I wouldn't really worry about specifics. Read some threads and books on training and experiment with your own to find what's optimal for you.
