Thanks guys for all the positive and informative feedback.
So, in summary.. Long run, long interval, not to run too fast. Need longer recovery than ST muscle guys.
Of course, the joke that I was not really fast twitch - I might not. But, my FT are much stronger now with 54" quarter (49 years old), but only a 2:50 marathon.
One ore question: for FT guy training for marathon, which is better, long interval vs tempo (say 10x1000 vs 10 mile tempo or 14 miles MP)?
There's a place for all three, but the order of importance would be 14 miles Mp, 10 tempo, and finally the 10x1000.
