I asked the Hanson coaches if Sell was running 150 mile week, how many of them
could he do at sub 6 pace. They said 100. Maybe that is hype, and maybe the logs
don’t bear it out,

Then you look at Destroyer doing a 130 mile week with 4 speed, plus a 182 mile week
earlier.

It’s hard to tell whether you are killing yourself, or pushing to a new level. Time will tell.

When Brother Colm is watching the Commonwealth Games on TV, who is the Canuck that is running by? I’m thinking it is you!

reid, thanks for posting this…it was defintely the best documnetary i have seen .it shows you alot of things that here in north america ,we DONT do!

1- we train too hard on easy days..having trained with them,i know how slowly they run on easy days alot of the time.

2- there is more to training than simply running each day….ie the drills they do .

3-group training has major benefits as long as the groups arent racing each other, every day.

4-mileage is key..the 800m junior that trains 2 and 3 times a day…you cant even get most college coaches in canada to prescribe 2 a days!!!

reading your recap of your last long run is proof that most runners train too hard…here you are the best cdn. marathoner,able to avg. under 5 mins/mile for 26.2 miles ,and you are running your long run at 6:30 per mile…..you ran the 30km in “just under 2 hrs.which is what myself and my training buddies used to do alot…and we were only low 31 mins. 10km guys…maybe we were runing too fast!!! it would be great if you could post your daily workouts and let the younger guys see what you are doing each day, the pace you are running at,how you are feeling…i think they would learn alot…keep up the great work.

Hi Reid,
Sorry about the valley you are in. It happens. I have had no legs for almost four days now because I got into some overzealous interval runs last week like a complete lunatic.
Thanks so much for the Iten video. I am learning a lot from it and it is motivating. One feels like they are having a secret revealed to them while watching it. Eye opening. Revelatory.
All the best in your speedy (I hope) recovery. Are you coming back to Iten?
Cheers.
Jacob

Brooklyn North is Producing. I am an independent from the Hammer. We are planning a screening in the Hammer and Guelph but he has lots of Toronto fans so that could be good. Chuck me an e-mail trebil@mcmaster.ca and I will contact you when we are getting closer to the release date.
