How much to drop volume going into fundamental & sharpening periods?

I'd try cutting 10% first, and see if that's enough. So, maybe 80-90. Start with 80, and if that feels ok, let it drift up in following weeks.

If your legs are still tired/dead, don't be afraid to cut mileage more. Just keep the long run intact, and you'll maintain your base endurance longer then you'd think.

thanks...bump for any other comments.

I'm in a similar situation. I've been running 100-110MPW (90-95 in singles) for the last 8-10 weeks and am moving into a more fundamental phase for upcoming outdoor season. Coaches want me to cut back to ~85MPW; I'm a bit worried that I'll end up losing some of that aerobic strength that I've built up at this point. Given that the season is 8-12 weeks out, does this make sense or should I bet cutting back this much?
