The 3x 45minute group would destroy the 8 minute sprint group.
It's all in how you define "fitness"
- jononomo 4y agoWhy are you so confident? See my other comment.
- ck2 4y agoThe way you trained was almost exactly the same as the 3x 45 minute group. What you call a 45 second sprint at the end is similar to what trained runners do after a run called strides. It has no similarity to the sprint training group. You did not say how many weeks you trained. It was roughly 20 miles per week which yes is enough to do a half-marathon in 1:40 for an average 35 year old man which is considered the "open" category (though races also do age-groups) Had you increased to 40 miles per week you could have done a marathon in around 3:25 Running has been studied for so many decades by so many people that it's almost a science with very few surprises unless someone turns out to be exceptionally genetically gifted.
