Whats the best training advice that you would tell someone?
Worlds easiest training plan:
1) lose weight
2) run as much as possible
3) race a lot
Just run, baby.
Volume through frequency.
Training advice is worth exactly what you paid for it.
Easy pace is slower than you think.
Farther than faster
Quick feet
Increasing your aerobic base is the only way to improve consistently over time.
Run, eat, sleep, repeat.

Keep at it.
We used to get high together, instead of getting high alone. I can't remember the last time I saw you, and I can't remember the last time we talked. You left home for a fresh start, working as a waitress down in Bradenton with my name tatto'd into your skin.
Bound, baby!

Don't go to Letsrun.com for training advice unless you're a hobby jogger.
No sex in your plan? No wonder people don't run more!
-Mileage is great, but build safely and slowly to your comfort zone.
- Threshold and tempo runs are probably the most important workouts, especially for longevity.
- Easy recovery pace means EASY. That mean slow jogging.
- Strides are important to do often year round. So are short sprints with walk rest. And hill sprints with walk down rest.
- Go by feel everyday, and listen to your body.
- On a run that isn't for recovery, if you feel good cruise the last few miles at a faster pace
- Don't do v02 max workouts too early, and don't do sharpening workouts too early or often.
- Don't over race
lift weights.
How do you get 100 miles per week in with 15 miles of slow jogging?
You guys know all about training but do you know how to bring it in a race is the question.
To ignore Letsrun advice that any speedwork should only be done at the end of a long cycle. That speedwork is supposedly the equivalent of having an organ transplant. And that speedwork is supposedly a formality- that many can supposedly run speedy w/o devoting to speed. For every 1 track person who does ok w/ little speedwork, I can name 15 who need it.
It's not the most important thing in your life.
There's a ton of good advice here- everything I was gonna say has been said except- Don't take what you read in Runners World too seriously. You have to be able to filter out the crap. Kind of like watching FOX news.
easy runs easy
