It would have to be something related to maximizing hard work to recovery ratio. Maybe not even to do with training, but better ways to recover, which could possibly open the door to doing more/bigger workouts

Maybe you've got something going on there.I think coach js on the boards could be the future Goat coach in this matter.He always advocate the importance of maximizing smart workouts/recovery ratio on just low volume mileage.Maybe we will see a sub 2 hour marathon on just 60 mpw coached by the magic man? Thrilling future.

I would love to read a book written by JS on his training methods. It would be 1 page long as no more is needed.
12-20x400 @ 5k pace, 800-1000m reps just below half marathon pace, rest to 120 bpm, use Daniels tables.

WOW! I am magic!
His Dancan system has more inhold than that I have seen.What strikes me is his simplicity to make wonders in short time whatever level of the runner.
The "revolution" I see coming is not the kind of thing you're thinking of. But I think we're going to see more "pros" taking jobs, ones that take up maybe 20-30 hours a week, fitting their runs around those jobs, and using race winnings to supplement the income from their jobs.
Money in the sport is drying up. If you're an East African you will still be able to make life changing money on the roads but not what you once could. Note the much smaller purse for WMM winners. If you're a blue chip US collegian, think Connor Maintz, you'll still get a shoe contract that will let you live comfortably and you can add to it with top placings in big races and appearance money.
But those races are moving away from big, deep, paydays. Directors of road want big fields and have learnt they can get them more cheaply with larger goodie bags bands along the course than by bringing in a good, deep, field of elites. So if you're a Parker Stinson or CJ Albertson kind of guy you're going to have a harder and harder time living on what you earn from running alone. You'll get a shoe contract but it'll likely be for gear alone or at most for gear and some travel help. So you'll need to figure out if you want to stay in the sport and if so, how to arrange it and stay alive, like all of us had to do in the pre professional years. So I think any kind of "training" revolution is going to see more and more people doing it sort of like Kawauchi did.
Olympic speed skater Niels Van Der Pool has posted his last 33 months of training.He just won two gold medals at the winter olympics.Average hours per month 82.You can download everything here https://www.howtoskate.se/V...
Yeah, this guy's training is intriguing. All the "zone 2" level training on a bike, hours at a time, makes this guy able to clear lactate at an unfathomable level. The 5 days on, two days off, seems to let him build quite a base without killing his desire to train. Not ignoring other factors that "could" be in play. He states after 2 days off he "hungers" for a workout
I agree with several posters here including Bluedot and JGT. I see medical/tech stuff having the biggest effect: peptides, hormone precursers, research chemicals, genetic altering, and other supplements that may not be on the banned list in addition to natural genetic freaks just becoming more and more dominant similar to the NBA.
Plus I think they'll relax shoe restrictions and those will keep improving. I think it's in the same vein as most sports altering the rules to favor the offense.
The only true training change I can see is just harder longer workouts, especiially once people can handle more from the above advances. I'm imaganing doing a hardish workout, taking a long rest 10-20 minutes doing a slightly smaller hard workout, taking a long rest and a little bit more. Or like the one poster said quadruple threshold. Who says you have to stop at 2. Maybe you do 2 then do a third on a cross trainer.
Maybe something to do with recovery. Friends have told me that they recover faster from racing and training in super shoes. Those can advance. More apparel- tights, etc that help your muscles recover as you run and even as you rest.
That means more and harder workouts. 3-4 marathons a year can become more common.

Probably some things about diet and sleep (naps after workouts) to squeak out a bit.
Maybe some stuff about stacking workouts to give more adaptations without breaking down.
Feels like we don't know much about training for efficiency compared to raising vo2max or LT. Maybe we are missing some way of getting your tendons and the like to be a bit more effective at storing/transferring energy.
Contrary to what many posters have said about more intense training, my sense is that the big development will relate to building a larger aerobic base by training the 30 or so hours a week that elite swimmers and bikers train - and not getting injured.
Running fewer running workouts, but running them harder. Then 'cross' training the remainder of the time.
I'm trying to get into this myself. I'm 63 and am coming off a couple injuries that had me running 2-10 mpw for about 3 years. I'm slowly building up and I'm doing some HIIT and plyo box stuff.
I'm thinking if I can get to 30-40 a week plus my extra stuff I can be competitive at my age group. No marathons but 1/2's and 5k-10k sprinkled in.
