Should I follow a time or distance plan if I am a runner training for a 5-hour marathon, as discussed in the episode s3/e16 Training by Time vs Distance with Coach Elisabeth and the clip Understanding Training Intensity?
What matters more when trying to run longer distances: total miles throughout the week or longer runs on a particular day?
When I do my long (Zone 2) runs for my first 30k trail run, would time-based training be better than mileage-based training? Even though the time on feet might be the same, I am concerned my mileage would fall way short.
