This is for an advanced runner. It is a high mileage programme so you must be someone who can handle 50-60km a week before you start the programme. There are challenging weekly track sessions and long runs with race pace intervals. It is important you use a heart rate monitor. Make sure you know your HR zones. It is important to know your LTHR(Lactate threshold heart rate) as this will make sure you do not push to hard as well as make sure you run the easier sessions easy. It will also help you on race day.

Be careful with injury and sickness. If any niggles occur you must back off.
Likewise if any sign of being run down. Take a day or two off. Rather do that than potentially lose more time off training.
