WEEKLY MILEAGE VERSUS KEY WORKOUTS?

Weekly mileage—the number of miles you run each week—is a catch phrase among many marathoners. It’s a supposed badge of honor that, more often than not, becomes a cross to bear.

You see, when you become a slave to the weekly mileage chart—forcing yourself to run 40 miles this week, and 45 the next week, and 50 miles the week after that and…so on, you neglect rest and make yourself susceptible to injuries.

So if you find yourself in a conversation with a weekly mileage junkie, remind yourself that it’s high-quality key workouts (long runs, tempo runs, turnover runs and…rest and recovery days) that will get you across the finish line in 4 hours, not the number you pencil in on your training diary every seven days.
