Personally my training still includes a large element of speed work (2/5 sessions) and I may not be the fastest, but I'm reasonable (top 25% in most races). Once you have built up a reasonable fitness and distance base then speed is the next thing to work on. i can't imagine that any of the sub 13hr boys and girls just do long and slow miles. i'm quite sure that any of them would fair well in much shorter races.Originally Posted by TheReverand
I have the uptmost respect for people doing these kinda long distance runs, it must take some training for!!! Question though, does it totally devoid you of speed all the long long slow miles you must have to do in training? Just curious
eg Top Novice Konrad Rawlik
