So, it is all about getting the correct balance to your training, with a blend of
quality running and high mileage stuff as well. We beleive that this is a decision that is
best left to you (and your coach if you have one) as you know the training that you have
done, your goals and what you realistically have time for in the future.
We would stress
however, the 10% rule which says you should never increase the total mileage in a week or
an individual session by more than 10 percent week on week.
As a guide we believe that approximately the first twenty to thirty miles of training
in a week should be about steady running, if you run more than this, then approximately half
should be interval work and half additional steady running. This is only a guide to help you
in your planning process.
