It's about just getting out there and doing it, making it the norm so the body adapts efficiently so it is the norm and it becomes effortless.

As far as I see it's implied via the heart-rates, but I don't see why you can't use one of the extrapolators? Seems like another religious POSE running thread to me, either you are a believer or you will "burn in hell". I'm an atheist unfortunately whose agnostic tendencies diminish over time. Good night and good luck.
P.E... Oct 2009 6:24pm, 16 Oct 2009 301 posts	Quote Pin P.E... I think the actual make up of the scehdule seems to co-incides with alot of other types of methods. As has been said the actual link is for base training. I think because he uses Joe as his subject throws some people off, and as Joe is a talented athelete maybe the distances scare people. The scedule has in essence from what I can tell easy/recovery runs, general aerobic runs and threshold/tempo runs (80-90% of max hr). It even suggests some intervals where you run 10k (5k fast, 5k recovery jogs). Now from my limited knowledge of various schedules - P&D scehdules which are quite popular, they recommend doing tempo runs (10 mile pace but here even Hadd advises moving up to this from as low as 82% to 88% MHR) at around 85-89% of MHR. Intervals (they recommend doing between 3 to 5k of fast 3-5k pace intervals) mixed in with a decent run with jogged recoveries. As well as a lot easy & general aerobic runs. Again I think the RW scehdules have a similar make up. Okay he doens't explain it well I agree but isn't this taken from a thread that has since been deleted?

There is always time to read, and what makes it more amusing is that you haven't even fully read it, and may never do, and yet you stick your nose up and take aim. Yes, the "science" is sketchy, and even he said that himself citing that a chunk of it mainly came from his observations and experiences of what works, but and indeed the plan does work. Well done on making yourself look like a prat, darling. At least have the integrity to properly go over it first.
