Long runs at close to goal ultra distance pace. Gradually increase long runs.<br /><br />Run short but hard twice during the week.<br /><br />Cross train on the bike the other days.<br /><br />The long run is the key, the rest of the week is really recovery. The cycling is active recovery. The runs are so that you still get your running fix.<br /><br />Monday: 60 to 90 minutes of easy and fast spinning (~100rpm)<br /><br />Tuesday: 6 to 8 miles over a rolling course; run at an up-tempo pace and push all up-hills<br /><br />Wednesday: 30 minutes of easy and fast spinning (~100rpm); 30 minutes of moderate effort spinning with cadence ~90-95 rpm, 30 minutes of easy and fast spinning (~100rpm);<br /><br />Thursday: 10 to 12 miles; 5 miles at 7:00/mile, 3 miles at 9:00/mile, then 4 miles ub 8 min.mile (I based these off his reported training paces and race times)<br /><br />Friday: 60 minutes of easy spinning (~100rpm) OR 30 minutes of swimming with some kicking<br /><br />Saturday: Long run (longer and faster than what you have previously done preparing for your events)<br /><br /> Here is another suggestion: Bike for 2 hours then run 3 hours.<br /><br /> Here is another suggestion: Run 2-3 hours at 7am then 2-3 hours at 1:30pm<br /><br />Sunday: Off<br /><br />Let me know what you think of these suggestions.<br /><br />ScottBloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04451715171173334162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2146027228972013538.post-35764287277958189952011-06-28T12:17:01.631-07:002011-06-28T12:17:01.631-07:00I'm also curious as to what they sent you, and...I'm also curious as to what they sent you, and if you are still training based on this method.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12611329798986755095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2146027228972013538.post-48985709908144777322011-05-14T22:28:39.301-07:002011-05-14T22:28:39.301-07:00I actually just finished that book and emailed the...I actually just finished that book and emailed them the same question.
