Journal of an elite runner

I also want to mention that I don't have a coach since I already graduated HS. I started running after HS, but I'm too slow to be on my college team.

Joffroi said that Steve updates it whenever he decides to, so I guess you'd have to ask Steve himself, I sent a message to Joffroi about this, I'll ask Steve to reply or put a log up

check out Rod DeHaven's site, or go to Hodgie-san's where you can read about Hodge, Steve Scott and Grey Meyer's training.

WEll I'm eager for the response too, since I'm a 2 miler who is using magness's interval workouts. I don't do it as fast as him, but I modify it to my ability. I train on my own however, since I disagree with my coach's too-cautious philosophy of low mileage and [shock] low intensity[/shock].

3.14 guy -

It's unrealistic to expect a response within a day, but I want the log back up ASAP too. Who cares about magness's immaturity. I just want something like this to help me with my training:

Mon - AM 6 miles PM 6x500

Tues - AM 6 miles PM 10 miles

Wed - AM 6 miles PM 6 miles

Thurs - AM 6 miles PM 12x400

and so on

What are these sites? I didn't know DeHaven had one and what's the link for that other one?

I didn't even know those sites exist, but I do know that Magness's log was THE training site. Why? Because it motivated me to run high mileage and gain successes.

Before reading the log - 5:45 mile (off of 20 MPW)

1 year after - 4:53 mile (off of 90 MPW)

Shit!?!?! You run 90 miles a week and only run 4:53? Time to get a real coach son.

Could everyone bug off about my log? Stop asking for an update, it's annoying. I swear, I'll lie about what I ran if this topic comes up again.

What's the matter with you? Use your own brain to think of training ideas.

Don't worry guys, that's not really steve magness, check out the difference: sjml368 (L)368, sjm1368 (1)368. That's right, it's a typical letsrun impersonator, I caught you red handed.

Well could the real magness update his log please?

seriously guys, Magness is in college, he has a little more to worry about than updating his online training journal for you guys to read and attempt to simulate. If you need training ideas, there are plenty of other journals out there, i.e. runnerx.com, trackshark.com, hodge's site, etc, just look around a little.

Ya I've been a slacker and not updated it in forever. I'm really just too lazy to update it really. I'll talk to joffroi though and see if I can just send him my excel based log that I keep to him and see if he can post it weekly. or if that can't work, then I can email my excel log to those who want it weekly.

whoops!

Hodge's site should be Default.com not Defaul.com

my bad, sorry

You can find some athletes journals/logs here:

How long does typing in "easy 9 miles" or "8x400 in 58 sec" take? 5 seconds if you're a slow typer?

Wow. It's over a week since steve claimed to "try and post the log", and yet, it's not up yet.
