Matt,
Have to wish you congratulations of course. As I told you not too long ago, I've been following your results for a while and was eager to see how you were going to do at IMTX. I was very impressed and excited when I saw you took the lead, knowing it was very unlikely you'd lost that lead on the run.
About that run mileage.... On those normal 40-50 mpw, if you don't mind saying, how do you break those miles up? Surely your long run has to be over 15 miles, making it more than 30% of your total mileage for that week, correct?
When thinking about the mileage, I thought 40-50 miles seemed very low for training for marathons, but clearly it isn't since you're crushing the run in races. That's why I'm intrigued as to how that's all broken up during the week.
Best of luck in Kona this October. You'll be the one I'll be hoping gets the win for sure.
