How many miles a week does a champion ultramarathoner do?
Posted by simon on 2/24/2007 on simon's blog

Rewiring my brain to lose the obsession with miles has had two mega-boosts this week, first with news of how Spartathlon winner Scott Jurek trains, and second with an inside take on what the 2:10 Kenyans like Ben Maiyo and "Baba" Kiogora are doing.

The "quality versus quantity" debate is drawing some passionate and well-informed comments here and elsewhere on this site. As a result of my research, I've already stopped doing "easy" morning runs, "recovery runs" and anything else that smacks of long, slow distance work.
