What matters in training for marathoners
New analysis of 100k+ runners
Faster runners:
-Accumulated 3x the volume of slower runners
-Had proportionally more easy running. Higher intensity proportion about the same.

American health is abysmal.

My first Blue Sky post had to be a re-post of @stevemagness.bsky.social and this one captures the essence of training well.
The 5 Rules of Training:
1. The boring stuff is your foundation. Do that consistently for a long time.
2. Let it Come, Don’t Force it.

5. Train the individual, not the system.
