Book Reviews of Advanced Marathoning
Book Review: 40 yrs old; 2:45 -> 2:35 in 5 months w/ this program
Summary: 5 Stars
This program is tailored for the "serious but busy" athlete.
A big plus are the scaled programs from <50 mpw to >70.
The main emphasis is on LONG HARD RUNS. It is no secret that this is the key to aerobic development (Canova, Noakes, Costill etc).
Pfitz puts it into practice w/ a well thought out program.
My only issue would be that there is no "anaerobic threshold" training e.g. 6x2k @ 10k pace. While maybe a bit of overkill, training at this pace worked well for me in the past, and is advocated by others (Vigil, etc).
Definitely worth it - I will be following the 18 week cycle (with a few of my own modifications) for my next race.
