But, like you, I was training for IMAZ and didn't really have the chance to read it. BUT, this year, my focus will be more on running so I'm definitely going to give it a read.

I have heard lots of great things about it and have been looking to focus on the marathon distance for 2012.

It makes me wonder if it's a male thing to skip right to the plans at the back (just like not needing driving directions)? I've got plastic tabs all over my book(s) and I use this book as well as Daniels Running Formula as my two "go to" references.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825072547351640242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-53453194779525885922011-12-30T13:04:17.448-06:002011-12-30T13:04:17.448-06:00I've used the 12/55 plan before with success, ...I've used the 12/55 plan before with success, but I found when I went to lower mileage with more intensity that I had better results.

I hav...Woah.... people actually read those books?!<br /><br />I have mentioned this at some point but I have found that for my body to get naturally faster for long distances (i.e. 26.2) I need to over train. <br /><br />Over train sounds kinda funny... because it is all relative in life.<br /><br />70MPW does not sound insane to me. You see, if you want to be fast you need to put your body at it's limits to actually build speed and endurance. Most people don't try to hit hard time goals at this distance, they merely want to finish... so to them 70mpw is insanity.<br /><br />You won't catch me running that much this year... nope. I like my knees and back just the way they are right now ;)<br /><br />Hang in there man, reaping what you sow will be oh so F-in sweet in just a short amount of time!!!Matty Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447270565189789394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-75232725876091350912011-12-30T12:13:59.280-06:002011-12-30T12:13:59.280-06:00I never read the first half if a training book, I ...I never read the first half if a training book, I always skip rig to the plan!

Your mi...I'm not sure what is more impressive.<br /><br />Your miles or your reading the first half of the book.<br /><br />This plan is certainly working for you, no doubt.<br /><br />When the marathon becomes a priority again (2013?) then I will certainly be looking into this book. I learned a lot about the marathon and my training and end of year marathons from 2011.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08914217156791555569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-6670577172430003612011-12-30T12:06:31.785-06:002011-12-30T12:06:31.785-06:00I hadn't heard of that plan.
