Evan Jager´s training revealed

Bout 90-95 miles

He's rolling the dice with that Jimmy John's; otherwise, looks like a pretty standard, U.S. American diet.

Yes. I calculated it to 96 miles.

Why only wine on Friday and Saturday nights!?

Phase of training?

Fall. It says that he hasent gotten 100% into training yet.

This must be the first weekly outline from Schumacher’s group?

Lots of core work, explains his nice style. Not that much milage, quite sensible.

+++++

Where does he find the time to get his +++++++ rating?

75 minute core sessions?

They seem to love the mile repeats on short rest. Seen in Shalane's training and C. Derrick's as well.

75 minute core session. Talk about wasting time and energy.

Surely he eats more than that? I do half the training and eat twice as much. Not a pick of fat on me.

This is off-season training, likely he goes above 100mpw in Winter. Also note that most of his miles are 6:20-6:40, which is like a 10:00 two-miler running 8:00 miles.

Maybe he does that with his wife, if you know what I mean ;)

Not necessarily. A 10:00 two-miler doesn't put in the workload that he does, so they are a lot fresher. When I was training really, really hard, my easy day pace was about thirty seconds a mile slower.

Anyone know what pace he's doing these at? I can't imagine they're blazing fast during "down time"

Agreed. Now way that's all he eats. 1/2 cup of granola? Get real. I eat three cups and I'm still hungry.

I doubt that he's doing 75 minutes of crunches and situps. The term "core" means different things to different people. Some people thinks that it is just abdominals, some people consider it to be every muscle in the trunk. I'd be willing to bet that these 75 minute core sessions encompass much more than the traditional core exercises link crunches, planks, etc. He's likely doing a lot of squatting and deadlifting as well. There is no other mention of strength training in this program besides these core sessions, so he's likely doing generally strength training with an emphasis on keeping a solid core.
