You will live longer than most people, so go for it. Agree it is good to vary the mileage and pace from day to day

It's worth getting the Hansons marathon training book. Very reasonable plan

That is an interesting study, but it is not the same as people eating different ratios of macronutrients out in the real world. I think that study had people in a metabolic ward, getting completely controlled liquid food, with no access to food on their own. I think the Low carb, high fat crowd would argue that eating more…
