Looking at his marathon stats on Strava.
His first 2K are sub 4 min mile (GAP)!
maybe that's evidence that you shouldn't trust what you see on Strava
and I certainly wouldn't trust heart rate data
japanese runner did 500k/310 miles the last 13 days before running 2:10

Got to be like MP or so.
It would be interesting to compare the high mileage runners (call it. guys who run 120-140mpw during the 12 or so weeks before the. race) with the ultra high milage guys (i.e. north of 150+) and see if there is any correlation between more mileage and better performance. Comparing the 150+ guys to the 80mpw one just doesn't have a lot of value.
I do notice he seems to have cranked the mileage down a bit. I know a lot of guys try to do that big mileage block (I am a stud at 120, just imagine 150) and then realize toning it down a bit is better. Figuring out if that better is at 140,180, or 200 is the tough part. I also wonder a bit if modern shoes let you get in a bit more training (call it 10%) with better cushioning and support. Those 60s shoes were rough:) -

Jo Fukuda ran 300k the second week and 200k in race week before the Fukuoka Marathon 2019.
553k in 2 weeks. How is that possible ?
I'm very aware that he is running extremly slow and all of this is basically active recovery. 2:10:33 is close to his PB (2:09:52 ) so one must assume that he ran 2:10 not despite the 500k the days before but because of it. Can anyone explain that to me ? How can he be fresh after all of these hours on his feet ? Or in other words - why wouldnt he be fresher with half of that milage?
Fascinating anyway...
Check his strava account.
Is this a thread on how not to train?
