Preface: This training program assumes 3 months+ of baseline training building up to 50+ miles per week. To convert to your pace and distance always remember to increase distance by no more than 5% of you current weekly mileage and train at a pace 20-30 seconds slower than your race pace. This book is for runners like me. Average runners who push their small talent to whatever limit there is. We don't win medals and trophies. Maybe occasionally we'll win a store coupon or some socks. No one endorses us or pays us. We'll never find fame or fortune at this. We do it for ourselves and we are out there everyday. When the swift have finished we are still on the road. When the swift retire we'll still be out there too. We run in good and bad weather and through injury and pain. We only ask one thing. Please save some food at the finish line for us.
