Every rule has a source

The plan stays inside limits taken from coaching texts. Your coach tunes inside them, never past them.

  • For races up to the marathon, the long run stops at 150 minutes, however fit you get.FIG · DANIELS
  • About 80% of your weekly miles are easy, so the hard days can work.FIG · FITZGERALD
