I still see nothing that compares to running sometimes 20+ miles at a fast pace in altitude- and that being a day's 2nd run. Most runners almost never take a day off. We would all have adjustments in other sports- but telling others to run 22 miles fast... then do it again tomorrow... then the next day 15 miles... all this including morning runs... no rest days...
Too easy to prove wrong. I didn't know that TTC was a troll.
1. "22 miles fast" is a vanishingly uncommon session. Don't pretend this is a routine thing even for elite marathoners. Look at Mo Farah's marathon training.
2. Many sports train daily or twice daily. Swimmers spend far more time swimming than runners do running, and far, far, far more time at hard paces (e.g. LT and faster) than runners would ever survive. Same for cycling. (It helps that these sports have essentially zero impact.) Relative to other endurance sports, runners are not nearly the "aerobic monsters" they want to think they are. Any decent XC skier, swimmer or cyclist would out-test the sh!t out of a similarly-accomplished runner in VO2 or LT testing.
Female coach having affair with male runner. Should I report it?
If Daniel's and Pfitz are outdated..then where do I look for modern training plans?
