Added August 26, 2008: This was posted for amusement more than for actual training purposes. However, I’ve kept this as a “reference” or “benchmark” for other PRs. As Jeff added in the comments… don’t try this at home, kids.



From Daniel’s running formula 2nd ed based on a marathon time of 3:10:59 at attackpoint.

    Tom,

    Be careful using Daniels like this. His training paces are based on what you can do now, not a goal pace. So if you enter 3:10:59, and your current VDOT is not at that level, you will be training at paces faster than he prescribes, and that could lead to injury.
