2x6 mile easy run? What's between the easy runs?

a few hours of rest and some food.

I really don’t think they are doing double threshold sessions on Tuesdays and Thursday’s but I’ve been wrong before. I think its more likely just one but with decent volume like 25 x 400m or

10 x 1k.

It's definitely two. OP: I'd also suggest you utilize a lactate meter.

What’s the advantage of going hard twice on the same day?

As long as you don’t push too hard in the morning session it allows you to get a much higher volume at a solid pace

Didn’t this guy post this a few days ago?

They don’t do double threshold twice a day, two days a week every week.

I’d start with one a day. You will very likely get injured if you just randomly start this training this week.

After my track season ends I am going to start training similar to how the ingebrigtsens train and see how it goes, if I get injured I’ll just go back to normal training, plan will look similar to this

Mon- 2 x 6 mile easy run + sprints

Tue- AM - 4 x 8 min threshold

PM- 7 x 4 min threshold

Wed- 2 x 6 mile easy run

Thur- 3 x 10 min threshold

9 x 3 min threshold

Fri- 8 mile easy run

Sat- 20 x 200m hill repeats

Sun- 14 mile long run

With warm up/down it should be about 95-100 miles, which isn’t too much more than what I’m used to doing

Looks interesting. How are you doing those 200m hill reps? Are they all out or at mile effort and what kind of rest?

They will probably be around 1500-3000 pace with a jog back recovery (~60-70 sec)

A former elite friend of mine in his last hurrah went and trained with them in Dullstroom and they do the two threshold sessions on Tues/Thurs. It is very real. However, I still don’t think you should do it OP. These guys have been doing this kind of training for years. If you just do one session on both Tues/Thurs, I think that will be plenty for you.

Definitely two sessions on threshold days.

Peter (or anyone else) can you explain for those of us with no reference, what this is, how it is sued and why?

Thanks

Now this is interesting. Do you know or can you find out what kind of threshold volume they are doing on these days? For example is it 5 x 2k in the am and 10 x 1k in the pm?

What were the results for your friend? How do they transition into race pace training and interval training that is more anaerobically oriented leading into the diamond league circuit?

There is no way they are running 3:30 1500's on purely lactate threshold training, hill reps and strides.

It's called strength. It's called speed endurance. It can't be done in a month, a summer, a season, a year. It takes longer.

Would definitely be interesting to hear more about your friend’s time training with Team Ingebrigtsen.

What year was this?

What are some more details about the training (is the mileage as high as Gjert claims? How easy are the easy days, etc.)

Guessing that's their base training they do for most of the year and do more specific 1500 training when it matters. Look up Steve Ovett winter training vs his training during track season.
