Help Go From 310 to 3 On Daniels

If you've been doing the same training for years, with the same results, you'll have to change things up to get different results. More mileage is part of the equation.

What are your recent times at shorter distances? Do the times suggest any drop-off in endurance, or all they all fairly similar in terms of VDOT?

What kind of workouts do you enjoy, and which do you dread? You may need to work on where you're weakest.

Read another book. If you read Pfitz, what might he recommend that you haven't been getting with Daniels? Maybe it's a mid-week medium long run.

Daniels doesn't include a lot of work at MP. Do you need some long MP tempos, somewhere in the 10-15 mile range?

Go to 65-70mpw for a year, you'll go under 3. The details don't matter. And I don't mean run a couple weeks right before your marathon at that level, I mean run 65-70mpw week-in, week-out.
