I’m not a low mileage advocate. I’m a right mileage advocate. Find the right mileage that works for you—the most miles that you can run without compromising your performance in workouts or races, without compromising your recovery, without compromising your life outside of running, your relationship with your family and friends, work, etc. Find out what that is for you. It’s going to be a little bit different for everyone. There’s a huge misnomer out there that, ‘Oh, if I want to be good at the marathon I’ve got to run over 50 miles a week. Or over 70 miles a week. Or over 100 miles a week,’ whatever it is. Everyone’s got a different idea in their head what they need to be doing; find out what that peak is for you and try to run as many weeks as possible at that volume in the 12-16 weeks leading up to a marathon—not every week, you should cycle, build in rest weeks, that sort of thing—but find that highest sustainable volume for you.” (NY Times) Athletics: ou Can Make Any Day the Best Day of the Year (NBC) Athletics: Emmit King, sprint champion in 1980s, killed in shootout (The Telegraph) Women n Sport: 'I confided that I had an eating disorder?– they told me to lose three pounds' British runner Phily Bowden on why she quit leading athletics programme in latest controversy that could have serious implications for Nike (Tri247) Triathlon: Passing the torch: Lucy hopes Chrissie will be part of Sub8 bid Lucy Charles-Barclay talks about her bid to go Sub8 in 2022 (USTFCCCA) Athletics: 2021 NCAA Division I Cross Country National Awards (Quillette) Women in Sport: On the Issue of Female Athletics, the IOC Has Shirked Its Duty to Lead (BBC) Athletics: Jakob Ingebrigtsen: Olympic champion to race at European Cross Country in Dublin Olympic 1500m champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen has been named in Norway's team for the European Cross Country Championships in Dublin on 12 December.

Am I doing this to the exclusion of my responsibilities to my family, friends, loved ones, community? Or, in fact, is this practice of running actually foundational in helping me do that?’ My sense is that overall for the majority of runners and athletes it’s the second scenario which is true: that running actually tends to cultivate connection and gratitude and love and the ability to be of service to others. If it stops being that then maybe you want to look at that but I think it’s usually the case that it’s a positive force in people’s lives.” (Berlin.de) Olympics: Olympics 2036 in Berlin?
