Detroit Marathon: 3 die

[Charlie_Francis]

@oldbloke

Has anyone ever done an elite marathos (<2.15) or a good club performance (<3.00) off tempo running.

Any decent marathon training plan is based on

• experienced runner who has mileage under their belt
• tapers mileage in the last month
  reducing the chance of overtraining or burn out.

These are recreational marathoners who just need to stay in one piece.
It is seldom the top guys who die in races, it’s the guys who copy their training and haven’t got the physiology to back it up- or any reason to try.
