“There are no shortcuts. Be patient and look long-term. It's a foolish idea that if you do a little more, faster, then you'll get better than the rest. It ignores the fact that you must train at your optimal level, not your maximum level. Consistency is the secret to improvement and success. You have to keep training when others lose interest.”
Robert de Castella

The latest article from 33Shake on Nutrition of Marathon Training, unless you know the people at 33Shake it is probably not what you are expecting. Other good links in the article to follow.
Having run with a few Kenyans in my 44+ years of running one thing I always noticed was on easy days they went easy, often even easy for me, and not just a relative easy. In this article the author talks about how on easy days you need to go easy to go fast when you need to: Secret to Running a Faster Marathon? Slow Down
Great interview with Barry Magee, bronze medalist in the 1960 Olympics from New Zealand, regarding Arthur Lydiard who coached him. Interesting in being asked about core principles (at about 54;33) of successful training he says "you don't expect perhaps success for 3 years" even went on to say may take 10 years for some. Sure that would not fly well today but is a great truth - success takes time - lasting success that is.
