If one was disingenuously pushing a particular style of training it would be easy to use Nate's example to suggest that, "you can run a marathon PR by doing short duration, high intensity work, and lifting weights in our gym." The truth is that, while Nate took a unique path to this marathon, it was no shortcut.

SLC Marathon:
Nate = 3hrs 11min
"15min faster than my previous best marathon with about half the run training. I seemed to be very durable to the impact of eccentric contractions, which typically destroys me. This is truly a testament to the work I do at Gym Jones, which in this case has yielded much better results than I have gotten with 'specificity' alone. And, for the doubters, I can say that as a cycling endurance athlete, I have only gotten stronger on the bike while I've incorporated the appropriate complementary gym work into my weekly training."

If one was disingenuously pushing a particular style of training it would be easy to use Nate's example to suggest that, "you can run a marathon PR by doing short duration, high intensity work, and lifting weights in our gym." The truth is that, while Nate took a unique path to this marathon, it was no shortcut. For the last four months he trained 2x/week at Gym Jones, rode a bike or trainer about 10 hours per week, ran 1-2x/week, and did one gym session in his garage each week. His PR was not the result of a secret method, instead he followed the age-old, tried and true method: hard, mindful work. To be sure, he ran less than most would (roughly 18 miles per week). But he developed endurance capacities on the bike, inoculated his legs against abuse in the gym, and stacked this on top of a long history of endurance effort, which includes seven marathons worth of experience. I was not surprised by his speed today. I was however surprised by the lack of damage, and I suspect he will recover quickly over the next few days -- maybe enough to train in the gym on Tuesday. It's not a miracle but it shows (again) that one may reach an objective by several different means.

Mark is borrowing concepts in terms of circuit training from CF but he has imbued other areas of SnC into his practices.
