The Best Training Strategy for a Marathon or Ultra

Thanks! Great info!

I want to share my marathon training. It was very simple and controlled. I would only run 3 days a week. Run day. Then rest day. Then train on a 1.5 mile square hill course. Steady progression from a base of 6 miles to 12 miles per session in the span of 2 months. No tempo, slow, or mixed pace work. Just rock solid pace whether going uphill or down same speed. Keeping accurate record of my distance and time. Try to run like a machine. My lap times don't lie. If I went too fast, I would slow down. Then test myself on the last lap or two by trying to sprint them. I've done over 50 marathons in my life, but never more than 4 races a year. Best marathon(3:21) Half(1:29) 10k(39:00) 5k(18:50) mile(5:40) ______________________ My rule for pain mgmt: a.) If it hurts when you run. Stop and walk. b.) If it hurts only after you finish running. Take an extra rest day. c.) If sore the next day. Just perfect.
