Greetings, all
Couple Saturdays ago, I met Earl Fee at the Club West Masters Meet in Santa
Barbara. Earl is the Canadian masters legend who holds (by his count) 30
world age-group records in events ranging from the 300 hurdles to the mile.
Recently, he self-published a book on track (but not
If we had 100 runners running an average of 140-50 a week with
flirtations with 200 how many sub 2:20s would we have. Apparently the
Japanese already have this answer. I also doubt they took 10 years to build
up to near 200 mpw levels.
There is a guy most of us know and love ...
He ran at

We see what you are saying about commitment and training levels, etc. and
improvements in those things would help the US situation. But 150, 180 or
200 mpw isn't really what is gonna get this done

100 is better than 70, 130 is better than 100, 160 is better than 130..
Reading the posts on mileage for marathoners, is like how do you bake
a cake?. Since '84 I have coached twenty-five athletes that qualified
to compete in the USA Olympic Marathon Trials. A couple of the guys ran
in the 2:10's and seven women ran faster than 2:40 during their marathon

On the other side of the coin, sideshow, you could tell the HUNDREDS of
American men who have run 2:15 or faster ... yet never run longer than a 3

Certainly the extreme levels of training can work (for some people and

But it's those stretches of 140-170s that makes everything else possible. Train
hard -- really hard -- but listen to your body and know when to back off.
Get those 100 runners at 140-150mpw and you'll mine a few 2:09s. Get 1000 of
them and you'll mine a few 2:07s (and many 2:09s). It's all a

Hey, you know I have a lot of useless data in my computer and in my
head, stuff like the S African marathon program and the Fila program and
the logs from Shorter, and Clayton and stuff like that. What I don't
have is hard factual data on what the guys/gals from the rising sun do.
Sure I've
Back when Seko was running well, the reports were of him running ~160 miles
per week, with the most critical workouts being two hard days of long
tempo runs per week. I remember the hardest workout day struck me as 25K
in both the morning and the afternoon at marathon pace for a 50K day at
