I jog 13 miles every morning at 10 min/mile pace (seriously)

The oxidative stress of running that long is increasing the aging process faster than any potential health benefits.

Do some squats, naturally increase testosterone, and stay young longer

Maybe she doesn't want to increase her T.

FYI, while running does create oxidative stress. Your body adaption to it makes it stronger.

I'm Filipino but I'm like that. I can't handle speedwork too well, but I love distance (tempo, fartlek, and easy LSD). That helps my 13.1. I do know I'd get killed in a 5k.

It's like being a high-winding muscle car with a small block that makes power over 5000 rpm with 2.73 gearing, vs. a launch monster with a fat torque curve and 4.11 gearing.

The Japanese are used to that--they do tons of volume and just let the paces come down. So that is why you will see lots of 2:15-2:20 marathoners out there.

EDIT: It should say 2:09-2:10 marathoners, not 2:15-2:20.

Wejo's progression of 30+10k College to 28:10 clearly demonstrates a proven training method...

Perhaps you should look at malmo´s logs. Big mileage - everything at 6 min/mile pace or faster.

Check this out:

Depending on your genetic makeup, will dictate what kind of training you'll benefit from the most. Some should do lots of slow jogging. Others should stick to lots of steady state running. I.e. Malmo vs Wejo training

That's good ews to me wrote:

You're actually well overdone as aerobic fitness is concerned. Try running 5 miles a day x 5 days a week. That's still a bit too high but it's will still get you exceptionally aerobically fit. The new thinking is 15 miles per week is optimal. Anymore and you risk injury and oxidation damage.

Optimal to run like s donkey.

This thread is such a phenomenal example of LRC. We have mild trolling and sh*t talking, people stating as fact wildly different random theories based on broscience, and pretty much everyone claiming to know every single thing about fitness and the right thing for this guy to do.

Love it. Keep up the good work and lulz.

1: Wejo has never set an AR.

2: There are more effective was to train than doing ridiculous miles ayt a snail pace. Try running 90-100 mpw at a decent clip

plus moderately challengiong workouts even during base.

3: Wejo is a bad example. He had to quit prematurely because of injuries.

4: Elite runners don´t train like that.

Wejo? Wealthy born American born Wejo?

Why are you doing this? I’m training somewhat the same because I like to run. Two (2) or three (3) hours a day isn’t really all that much of a time commitment. Still leaves you over twenty (20) hours a day. Are you training to train or training to train? I’m running to run!

If Bolt trained like this, he would have run an awesome 400.
