Listener Question
I've been very unsure about the role of "speed work" in my training or if there is any role for it when my slow training pace is already a touch above my targeted maximal race pace. Perhaps you have some opinions and wisdom on this topic.
- First rule is to stay healthy and get to the start healthy. Boring makes you strong and speed kills.
- 400 miles in 6 days 66.6 / day. 18 pace is 20 hours
- Closer you get to race the more you should do race paced work. Further out you can do shorter / faster work.
- Speed is mainly for form purposes and to add some variety to your routine.
- Do some short races like 5ks and 10ks just to get out of your comfort zone sometimes.
- Speed kills your feet. So be sane on day one.
- Set a reasonable mileage goal / time goal for each day and have your breaks planned. Holder, Winkley and Fejes do this.
