I had so much hope, but you blew it. 20 mpw with 12 runs a week? Liar.

I think that was someone else using his name. The sentence structure is different.

Yeah that was somebody using my name to troll around. Anyways I know somebody asked but I was busy. Easy runs were no faster than 7:00, and I tried to keep the pace pretty consistent. My miles during the off season was never higher than about 60-65, and during the season I cut down to about 50 at the beginning and no more than 30-35 for the times it really counted. The week of footlocker nationals I think I ran about 17 miles that week.

You troll shut up. I did easy runs no faster than 9 minutes and did 80-90 miles a week, with my key workout being 36 x 200.

Definitely bottom. Tis better to give than receive unless you're gayer than a 3 dollar bill, and I am what I am.

Did you double every day? How much mpw and how fast were ur easy miles

For the validity of this thread I registered my name so you know it is me.

Great question. My junior year I experimented with double runs and found they can be very beneficial and rewarding when done properly. Easy days I didn't double, but on a workout day I would. Easy days I focused on recovery. Here is a sample:

Monday - AM 3 up, 12x400 @1:14 w/ 1 min cruise rest, 2 down PM 4 easy

Tuesday - 6-7 easy

I found that if you want to be able to improve you want to be running a certain time on a certain mileage you believe you can improve on. For example, trying to max out your time on as low mileage as you can so you can do much better later on in your career. I know of many runners who run, say, 40 mpw as a freshman and then 50 as a senior, but want to really cut time as a junior so they start doing 70-80 miles in their build-up and either get injured or overwork themselves. You might PR, but you have to ask yourself if the time you just ran on very high mileage will improve with more volume. There comes a time you cannot improve any more on high mileage and you basically burn out.

To keep these jokers from ruining this thread I will only be posting with this username.

No I swear to god that isn't me I'm the actual darestb I just didn't register. He's gonna give you bad advice.

who the hell doubles like that? you definitely didn't make it to footlockers...

Take away what you want. That was an example of what I do while running in the season, where you don't double on your easy days. To keep the aerobic systems primed it requires strong stimulus every 3-4 days. You build your base in the off season, not during the season. It is more of a time to focus on being comfortable at race pace or faster. Nonsense miles just to hit a weekly quota is not how you need to go about it.

Stop giving fake information under my name you cuck. Over the summer I built up to 169 mpw with at least 1 5x18 a week then I only did 48x60m at 12 minute pace every day for the rest of my season. The night before the footlocker race I made sweet, passionate love to myself. (Reed Brown told me to do that and he won.) Unfortunately it didn't work because I came in DFL and am running a low level D3.

This guy starts a thread so we can ask him anything, then gets angry when we ask him anything. What gives??

What are your goals in life? NOP? Bang some track groupies? Nothing to do with running?

Who cares... I'd rather be me over any other runner that has ever existed. My legs are PERFECT and I could not be more grateful for my genetics.

I don't know what this foot locker race is but I'm 99% certain I could beat you and I'm a sprinter.

Male admixture of these legs.

This whole thing was posted after a 7 hour drive from labor day vacation where I was tired but thought it would be a good idea to share information with the general public and instead it's becoming some sort of joke. This is why actual competitive runners hate using this forum because it is used by complete idiots.

I'm sitting here, chortling, as I imagine this 18 y/o guy trying to talk down to me about this forum as if he owns the place. How's getting your @ss handed to you in workouts going? Got you dreaming about last fall when you were a "big dog?"

First, it's Footlocker.

Second, learn how to spell.

Third, no one cares that you think "competitive runners" hate this forum. That's *clearly* not the case...

Were you sad that your team wasn't good enough for the real champs: NXN?
