I have always followed Lydiard's training principles. For safety, efficiency and hitting the races in top shape this is the most effective training system out there.

everyone should read crossfit endurance article by Brian Mackenzie. Advocates even less running. Takes all sorts. Always believed in finding a plan that suits your own personal strengths and sticking with it.

Interesting article Rick. While I did run 2 x 20 milers for my recent marathon PB it was far less that I wouuld normally do for a marathon and I base my good marathon form on running faster (MP) but shorter.
