9/1 has been a game changer for me. Done this for marathon training the past 3 years. With a mix of cycling, swimming and a long run build doing 9/1 I’ve gone from 5.15hr to 4.19 and last year 3.58. No speed work. Best advice I’ve implemented ever - thank yoy

Great advice, as a triathlete I have definitely made all of these mistakes! I've had an awful history of run injuries (probably due to all of those training errors) but I'm building up to my first marathon and have been the most consistent I've ever been.
This has been down to all the things you mention to maintain regular running: less intensity - I didn't do anything but easy running from September to January and have just started adding bits of tempo/threshold in the 8 weeks prior to the marathon; I embraced the walk breaks in longer runs (I've been able to build up to 3hrs doing 30min run, 2min walk); I entered a half about 6 weeks before the marathon but ran it at my marathon target heart rate rather than an all-out effort so I felt fine the day after.
So yes, definitely agree with everything you've said!

Hi Rob. I’m training for IM Wales. However I have the Swansea sprint triathlon coming up next month. All my run training has been Z2. I feel I need to get a weekly speed session over the next 4 weeks on the lead up, as the run is only a 5k. My plan would be to revert back to no run speed work after. Do you think this would damage my IM WALES bike prep? The only other race I have between Swansea sprint and Wales is slate man standard distance so not concerned about a lack of speed on the run as the run is a lot longer.
