how do you manage to run so much and not wear down your knees?

Hi Mark,
I’m impressed to see that easy pace come down so much. But it confuses me that you think the hard training pace (tempo pace?) will be only 30 sec/mile faster. I think in kilomters, and that’s only 20 sec/km. The difference between my easy and hard pace is almost about 90 sec/km, or about 2 min/mile.

Daniels agrees with me.

Sorry Man but I doubt 30 sec gap would be a good “delimitation zone”. I had (and still have) HR check zones: 140 – 150 EZ, 150 + Hard. I could be wrong, but if i have to restore during my EZ run, I’m not embarrassed to make 8:50-9:00 miles (actually now it’s 8:00 – 8:30). Just I see a tiny difference between 1 hour @ 7:00 and 7:30, almost the same for me.

Mark, I can remember when your “easy” training pace was 9 minutes/mile. Sorry to hear you’re under the weather.

BTW – why no PR Red Deer marathon T-Shirt for the author pic?
