Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
6.00	4.00	0.00	0.00	10.00

Aerobic resistance today on the track yet again. First 6 miles at 6-6:40/mile pace then 4 more at 5:28-5:49/mile pace. THR-122-126 at 6:30/mile and 134-138 at 6:00/mile. 146-150 bpm at 5:28/mile. Building blood volume with this pattern of training by omitting recovery run until tomorrow. 75-85% mhr. RP-40-42 bpm. Weight-140 lbs.

Hard-semihard-easy every once in a while can be more effective than just hard-easy as long as the recovery is ample to support it. Not every time do you want to do this however because sustained over time and especially while building high mileage or undertaking sharpening, it can lead to breakdown or overtraining. Darkhorse out...

Hi Steve, quick question for you. Was your 150 HR at 85% of your approx. max? And do you normally run marathon pace at 75-85%? Thanks for your help. Bob

Robert, There is some cardiac drift involved of course towards the end, but generally my marathon pace at the Ogden marathon 2 yrs ago with a 2:29 was 5:36 roughly at 150-156 bpm or so. AT is somewhere around 154-160? That is assuming that aerobic fitness is well developed.. ON THE OTHERHAND.. If it is not than the max on all factors including maximal heartrate will go up. Interesting phenomenon considering a lot of physiologists say that this is not possible?

Got it. Thanks for the reply.
