This was from the Coaching Distance Twitter, but I thought I would post it here as well.
Finished The Norwegian Method Applied by Marius Bakken,MD & loved it.
If you read his website, take that information and multiply it x1000. Here are my personal takeaways:
I think there are some programs that do their general training runs at a pace that's probably at the lower end of threshold pace
don't clutter or overcomplicate your easy/recovery days with "stuff"
on easy runs...I think with the density of workouts in the Norwegian method (T-Th-S) the easy runs must be easy / if your workouts are spaced further apart, you could get away with faster endurance runs, but why?
intensity control...INTENSITY CONTROL
IMO, it would be hard to implement double threshold in a large group setting without blowing some people up
there is still an element of race pace or faster training that needs to be done, but FAR LESS than we think
he also talks about a 45/15 workout that is a version of the Billat 30/30 workout.
These are the kinds of workouts Mihali Igloi was doing 50 years ago. All that being said, I still REALLY LIKE Dr. Jeff Messer's concept of "Distributed Threshold" training for HS runners.
