thank you too for your input. that is certainly very interesting.
no right, I don't think I'd be a good sprinter (100m/200m) but I don't really care about that.
overall, it's nice to hear that work matters.

thank you for your opinion.
do you think it's really an exception, the example? I was just trying to give an example for the trend I thought I was seeing.
basically, HS kids training in a specific way, they get fast, etc. etc. ***VS*** your average jogger training at slow paces all the time and never getting good at running, nope, not at the marathon distance either. I mean, they still keep running 4-5 hour marathons.
it's hard to get my point across, I think, because I'm not exactly sure what I am seeing and why.
but my post is actially about more than just finding a shortcut. I see people advocating a lot of slow miles and I don't get the idea when I see the 4-5 hour marathoners doing it on 50mpw or whatever.
I see a lot of people advocating against fast workouts. while I find that I improve well using such workouts. so what's going on with all that, too?
so, don't try to pigeonhole me, I don't mind hard work at all, I actually like it. I just want to put in effective work and more than that, not waste time. I prefer efficiency. it's this simple.
and I think I explicitly mentioned I want to maximize my ability/potential but if I didn't say it, I will say it now. yes, that's my goal.
honesty never hurts but you are completely wrong. I was not drunk and I was not high. (and I'm still none of these things.) I don't really care if you believe me on this but you were wrong with your far-flung assumption. I say far-flung because all you were seeing is a few lines of text, you didn't see me, nothing, and you tried to guess from minimal amount of data. I call bullshit on that.
anyway, thanks for the useful input - useful was not your speculation that you started your post with -, though this idea of building a base thing still seems a bit contradictory to me, as I explained in my post above (where I compared two different runner trends).
don't get me wrong, I don't mind running high mileage if it works. just trying to understand what specifically that adds for vVO2max speed that - for example - the girl I mentioned above didn't already get from her low mileage she was doing in high school.
as I said she now runs higher mileage and runs slower stuff and she isn't any better than back then.
so that to me is strange.
I know there are other things beyond vVO2max speed, such as stamina, endurance, blahblah, but those won't be at fast paces without you having the base maximal aerobic speed.
if I am wrong in my understanding about this, feel free to let me know. thank you.
