    Run slow with as many miles as you can do, seems to be the key for this guy to go faster. This is the fastest 10k I've run in 33 years. Not that this is a blazing speed for this distance even ... read more

      Good article. For me, the basic rule is, "train slow to race fast." Of course there are tempo runs and speed work thrown into the mix, but in general, the best way to improve performance is by running long, slower miles.

      I know what you mean Pam. That's why when I started doing more miles I went to doubles so that I didn't take time from our regular life cause Char is still sleeping when I do it.

      Not making up for missed workouts. Just running the week I should have run last week which didn't give me a down week for the race like I planned. Only 9 weeks till I try to do 100 in 24 hrs so it really is all about the miles.

      This training method is essentially the opposite of FIRST, which I really liked, and suited my mileage limitations (physical and timewise) well. That said, I understand the science behind it, for sure, and your testimonial makes me even more curious about trying it. I love your dedication to the process Les. Great work!
