It certainly highlights the importance of volume for good marathon running, and not to neglect speed (especially at the highest level). I know I'd be a 70+ sec 400m runner now, but for me I think volume is the most important thing - even for 3 to 5k racing.Ewenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093209634556111656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433846458554135895.post-3547350932495829782009-05-08T01:17:00.000-07:002009-05-08T01:17:00.000-07:00Actually, Deek once said that he could have run fa...Actually, Deek once said that he could have run faster 10k times if he had trained for a 10k.
