Chris drugs or no drugs runners don't get that fit on drugs alone, they still have to be doing something right as regards the training. If you or I took drugs we wouldn't automatically start running sub 27 minute 10Ks!Originally Posted by Multiterrainer
I think slower miles do work, I've applied the theory to my own training but ONLY AS (if you listen to me) a top up to a base of good quality aerobic running, which (you're right) is the most important thing.
With reference to your 28min 10K mate who does 50 mpw, are you sure he 'counts' his recovery miles, warm ups, warm-downs etc? And that he doesn't cross train (which is obviously "worth" so many miles a week even though it isn't actually running). Comparisons of training are sometimes invalid because how one person quantifies it can be different to another.
