Daniel's Running Formula-3rd Edition

Product Information

The most common type of run is an Easy run (E). This is your typical “conversational pace” easy run. It should form the bulk of your training load. These can be short recovery runs or longer easy runs. These help build your base and lay the foundation for all of your other training. The training plans in his book are geared towards very serious runners, but the science and training philosophy behind it can be applied to most people on the running spectrum.

If you break mileage down, you get time and speed, the product of which is the distance, since time (hr) x speed (mi/hr) is equal to distance (miles). The cardiovascular system is broken into 21 the following areas: cardiac output (flow rate), oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood and hemodynamics.To determine your paces for the quality workouts, use the Daniels VDOT calculator. Here is a link to the online version. The worst thing you can do is completely ignore your pacing during marathon training because you can’t race fast if you don’t practice running fast some during each week of training.

Threshold runs (T) are slightly more intense. This is the pace that you could hold for about an hour, but not longer. These find their way into training plans as either steady state runs of 20-30 minutes or as longer intervals with brief periods of rest. The goal is to keep your body at around its lactate threshold point, so that the body becomes more efficient at clearing and processing lactate. The variability in these factors that determine a single ability is referred to as a pseudoVO2max, or VDOT. Race times over multiple distances and their associated VDOT (running ability) values are shown in table below. The third step in the season plan is to determine how much quality training will be done each week. The muscular system is just that, your muscles. The ability of your muscles to utilize oxygen, remove waste, store glycogen, and support your body are all important functions.

Once these five steps are completed, the season plan is complete. The Formula takes a target running goal (marathon) and shapes a training plan to target and develop specific areas of emphasis. There are pretty strict pace suggestions, based on efforts relative to VO2 max. The VDOT calculator adds to the precise nature of this, suggesting very precise paces for each intensity based on a recent performance. Using race times is a good determinant of ability because it sets equal slow speed matched with a strong running economy, a high speed matched with a poor running economy, or an average speed and with an average economy. The main idea here is to just get into the running mode and prevent any acute injuries from the introduction of training into the runner’s daily routine.

You should be cognizant of how much you are stressing your body, because too much stress is counter-productive. At the same time, a given workout or training regimen will become less stressful over time – and thus less productive. To continue to progress, you need to progressively and appropriately increase stress by modifying the workload, intensity, recovery time, or frequency. To the body, speed is simply exercise intensity. Using this, the stress experienced by the runner becomes the product of time and intensity. A less common type of run, which you would incorporate more in half marathon and marathon training plans, is Marathon Pace (M). These runs are, as the name suggests, run around Marathon pace. They’re a slightly harder effort than Easy runs, but they can be sustained for a long time – unlike Threshold runs. M runs are typically longer runs, or stretches of harder efforts inside longer runs. In every case, you should start with a base building phase where you establish your weekly mileage and do some strength work to build some injury resistance. From there, you’ll go through three phases until your race. The idea of training focus is centered on the “physiology of performance,” and the key ideas are the seven “principles of training.” The principles are:

Finally, there are Repetition training runs (R). This is your speedwork, run at your mile pace or slightly faster. These are essentially the inverse of I runs – short intervals with long periods of recovery. The repetition should be less than two minutes, and the recovery period should be long enough to fully recover. For example, 200m or 300m repetitions would be good with 200m or 300m recovery jogs in between.
