If you're looking to improve your #running, the Norwegian approach to sub-threshold training might be worth looking into.

I've read both of these now cover-to-cover and the framework is simple: easy, sub-t, easy, sub-t, easy, sub-t, easy long.

I train by power and keep my CP updated. Unless in a special block, my schedule is:

1. 60' @ < 80% CP
2. 10×3' @ 96-99% CP
3. 60' @ < 80% CP
4. 5×6' @ 94-97% CP
5. 60' @ < 80% CP
6. 3×10' @ 92-95% CP
7. 90-120' @ 80-83% CP

@atoponce is there one of the two books you can recommend More than the other? I can only find the one on the left in store where I live.

@isazi They're both equally great.

James does a great job describing his background as a time trialing cyclist, sweet spot training, how he applied it to running, and his results after 2-3 years. He outlines the method clearly and provides a framework to build from depending on where you are as a runner.

Marius is a little more theoretical and provides some additional tools to the framework. He also opens up the idea of doubles for the amateur, and encourages it.
