week & during training.

nutrition/supplement of any kind, etc.

My favorite is the 3 hours in the forest at 5:40/mile. (32 miles!)

And don't forget the 800m repeats in 1:57 (1:04 followed by a :53)...6
times.

Think this guy could run a marathon? My old Gardner/Purdy tables predict

2:02 based on a 26:20 10k, fwiw.

I wonder what "easy" means for him. Also noticed a good deal of stretching
in there!

If I had to guess, I'd say 6:00 is easy, and 6:30 is very easy. He
probably starts out much slower, though.

I'd think that 3 hours would include a warmup and cooldown.
So, maybe it's actually less than 32 miles.
Not that it really matters, especially at that level.

Btw, Ed Whitlock runs 2-3 hours every day, albeit at a slower pace.

I evaluate such things by comparing his 10k pace to his workouts: He does
something like 4:15 for a 10k (!), and his "easy" 31 miler is at 90 sec/mile
slower.

I can't manage that small a difference in pace regularly, but he *is* the
best in the world. He would have doubled at the olympics 5&10k if El G, too
had to run a 10k a few days before, and not just a 1500.
