Train Less, Go Faster
For how long have you been training at 60% of normal? This year compared to
last? Or shorter? Well, even as long as a year of this I'd think if you had been training pretty hard that you could see a big 'well rested' rebound of freshness and speed. Still, for marathon comfort make sure you get in a half dozen 3 hour hikes with poles or something! 4 hour bike rides, 3 hour canoeing. A bunch of those. Don't have to be going hard but it seems like that's impt for smiling for a whole marathon. Even if you're well rested! The rest part will fail if you don't have a nice minimal amount of deep depth under your belt. A dozen 4 hour outings would probably be better for marathon comfort. Sez my guesswork based on 20 yrs of this stuff at wide range of speed and comfort, disclaimer disclaimer. -- Jeff Potter **** *Out Your Backdoor * http://www.outyourbackdoor.com for modern folkways and culture revival... ...offering "small world" views on bikes, bows, books, movies... ...new books featuring: XC ski culture, a Gulf Coast thriller folding bicycles ... with radical novels coming up! ...original downloadable music ... and articles galore! plus national "Off the Beaten Path" travel forums!
