Marathon training, my 2 cents

Well, training is very subjective. Everyone is different, from goals to biomechanics. Perhaps some people can do well without many long runs (20 +) but it doesn't strike me as logical. Preparation makes the difference between finishing and finishing well (good recovery, positive mental experience, ect.) in distance running just as in every other endevour in life. Case in point: due to circumstances, I didn't get sufficient long runs in before my first ultra. I finished (I'm stubborn) but it got ugly and the next day I came down with the worst flu of my life. Overexertion due to non-preparation for the distance did in my immune system.
