"What’s the lesson?
Of course, getting your mileage to 120 to 140 miles per week is not necessary and maybe not even advised. Moreover, I did have my fair share of injuries and I am biologically talented. I’m not suggesting you should mimic my training. That should not be the takeaway from this article.
Instead, the lesson should be about patience in your training.
Every once in a while, step away from the immediate goal or the next marathon and take a look at the bigger picture. Temper the need to want everything instantly. This is what leads to overtraining, injuries, and stagnant results. Your next race won’t likely be your last, so there’s no need to treat it as such.
Be patient enough to understand how much just a tiny increase, even one as small as 1 mile per week every two months, could have on your training over the course of eight to ten years. Once you learn and fully appreciate this secret, the sky is the limit."
