There are intervals in the training programme Jogblog; intervals aren't essential to completing GNR in my opinion but will built in some strength and might well help with times. Ultimately though you need a programme that you'll get out and do - I'd be faster if I ran six times a week but would hate running that much so I'll settle for less personally :-) I found that long bike rides helped my stamine parsonally – I did try to separate them from the long runs rather than do 3 consecutive days of hard stuff though.

It hasn't escaped my notice that I am following a training plan designed by a fella waiting for a knee replacement and trialled by you just prior to a career wrecking injury. Now should I go out for that planned long run this afternoon or not? Well that is a very good point.
