True, and I agree with you on the low mileage part (a lot of my clubmates think I do high mileage and I only average about 35-40mpw!)
However, do you not agree that you should have "easy" days in your training (whatever your mileage) - for some people this could equate to a "rest day" - for example after a hard speed session (or if you use Daniels' ideas after 2 hard back-to-back days), and so you only do an easy, say, 5miles?
