Moving up is easier. Many milers turn out to be good marathoners. How many
marthoners come down to the mile. Spped is hard to get endurance is part of
the game at all distances.
Good milers train very similar to marathoners.
Steve Scott 100 mile weeks
Mark Carroll 100 mile weeks
Hollman into the 90's
I can think of 2 US sub 3:50 milers that are good cross runners.
Falcon
Scott
One race and one race only, it's a no-brainer.
