Finished The Norwegian Method by Marius Bakken & loved it. If you read his website, take that information and multiple 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. coachingdistance.com/team-2/…

Sad to learn the news that legendary distance coach Joe Vigil, who mentored countless coaches over the years, passed away earlier today. His impact on the sport spanned several decades. May he Rest In Peace. 🕊️🙏🏼 #EarnedHisWings
