His regularity in racing is similar to John Walker. Read about Walker\u2019s training <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.runnerstribe.com\/features\/pure-strength-the-training-of-john-walker-part-1\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HERE<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He was no machine, he was indeed human. His training logs has numerous days where he felt exhausted, flat, heavy, or \u201clike shit\u201d.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He was versatile. His range extended from 800m (1:45) all the way to 10km road races.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He did hill work all the time. \u00a0Sessions on hills, long runs over hills. As the saying goes, \u2018he lived in the hills.\u2019<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He rested when required. His diary has rest days due to niggles or sickness. He didn\u2019t obsess over lost days.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His mileage wasn\u2019t crazy high. \u00a0It never seemed to exceed 100 miles per week. The emphasis seemed to be less mileage, but at a higher quality.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He did true interval sessions on average once weekly only. \u00a0However, he usually did a second session which consisted of some sort of speed or power type training (strides or hills for example). \u00a0By far the majority of Scott\u2019s training consisted of pretty fast paced runs of between 5 and 10-15 miles.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scott\u2019s training logs are provided below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>RUNNER\u2019S TRIBE PAYS OUR WRITERS & FILM MAKERS TO CREATE EXCITING & ENTERTAINING CONTENT.
