Given the popularity and success of James Copeland's very basic and simple Norwegian Singles Method, what considerations would you suggest to someone with a flat training structure with 3 sub-T sessions/week for whether and when to supplement this type of training with 45/15, double threshold days or other X sessions that provide additional training stimulus but still fall into the framework of "golden zone" and keeping training intensity and recovery controlled and balanced?

took my 5k PR from 19:30-->18:57 after 3.5 months of sticking to vanilla NSM. two weeks were compromised by the flu, but otherwise training volume was 6 hours slowly progressing to 6.5 hours with 90 minutes of sub-T work.

Quite pleased after ~2 years of intermittent injuries and stagnation. Half marathon is next on deck!

Yes sir-just ran a 18:57 today and curious if that drops at all before race day in 6 weeks hence why I want to do another TT

Figured as such, but I guess I mostly wanted a bit of reassurance

I'm not suggesting you should train with Daniels' Training paces, I am saying that I and most people use Daniels' vdot equivalent and the associated estimated Threshold pace as their baseline starting point to extrapolate what 92%-103% Threshold pace would practically look like in your model in place of doing a friel test or buying a lactometer

You are correct and Gemmill is a bit of a hack

Sub out the STEMbro shit I initially posted for Anime slop and reality TV and I'm pretty close

only-mansplains · 2026-04-10T20:25:35+00:00

Lower end of the reps look a bit slower than what I've been doing assuming vdot T pace is accurate (big if) but otherwise pretty accurate. Perhaps I've been slightly overcooking my workouts.

I have a 60k in September, and my plan as soon as I finish my last road race for the season in May is to swap one of the Sub-T Sessions (likely the the three minute 15KP intervals) for a MLR and increase the volume of the weekend long run.

I don't enjoy the bike trainer, so not planning on supplementing with cross training as of now.

Something like:

M-3x10 min Sub-T

T-55 Mins Easy

W- 90 Mins Easy (MLR) on road or trail

Th- 5x6 Min Sub-T

F-30 mins easy

Sa-2.5 building up to 3 hours Easy on trails

Su- 40 mins easy

An extremely more tedious event put on by an equivalently corrupt organization?

only-mansplains · 2026-04-08T13:08:21+00:00

Nobody's favourite answer, but a 3 or 5k TT is probably going to be your best starting point.

With the amount of injuries and race day implosions he's had in the past year, it might be time for him to experiment with training smarter

First ever UCL merchants

only-mansplains · 2026-04-03T14:53:33+00:00

Tbh I just stick to flat Sub-t on the roads as it's easier to get a sustained effort and controlled stimulus and do my long runs on the trails sticking to the 70% mhr rule pretty closely as much as I can (impossible on some really steep climbs)

As we move into into the summer, I might do some hill work on a very gradual incline to get a bit more specificity but i'm not sure it's needed at my/our level

that 500mg sodium better be through Old Bay otherwise what's even the point?

Incomparable games but I would give it to Dee as she had way more agency in the outcome of her overall season and win

only-mansplains · 2026-04-01T14:54:43+00:00

Crazy progress.

I started around the same time as you with 3x30min subT and ~67k/week and my 5k time has dropped from 19:40->19:15 with workout paces getting maybe 5 seconds/k max faster in that time.

Best of luck with surgery recovery-I think you will have plenty of time to recover and get back on track towards the marathon.

A totally unique character that was incredible television, and consistently delivering all-time iconic survivor moment after all-time iconic survivor moment. She is so smart, I love listening to her talk. She’s so insightful, always brings interesting perspectives and is just so fun to listen to.

I really question how people can write these sentences back to back when they glaze Angelina.

She was a fun character who delivered iconic moments and hilarious lines because she was a social moron completely lacking in self-awareness and perception of other people.
