Injury prone runner...injured in each of my last 3 marathon cycles! So, want to look at doing one big workout per week rather than two. Any thoughts on what my focus should be? Or what types of run to prioritize?
Typically I average about 40-50 mpw during the cycle.
What kind of injury? Do you properly warm up?

You should be doing more moderate quality workouts, not fewer.

Run more miles or else don't do marathons if you're not willing to run more.

I ran a 3:03 off 25 mpw - not even on a cycle. So, you’re wrong. I can run a marathon just fine. I want to go quicker. Hitting 50 mpw will make me quicker. Thanks for trying though.
Grade 1 hamstring tear. 2017
Grade 2 fibularis tear. 2018

Always eased into workouts. Lots of post run stuff. I’ve been focusing on getting stronger the past few months. Lots of core and glute activation stuff.

Anyone can run a slow marathon. But if you're not going to build a proper aerobic base then the marathon-specific workouts will injure you (again). Stick to shorter distances.
