whatever man wrote:
Like him or not, Mayeroff does do these nasty workouts, although he can be a little up and down like any guy approaching 40 and working that hard. Also for the record saying he cut the course and claimed a PR is like calling him a drug cheat. He did not cut the course at Berlin or this would have been ratted out a long time ago on here (where did that rumor come from?).
IMO Jason travels a lot and that affects his consistency.
Yes you are correct. The travel is sometimes too much, and I wont be getting on an airplane at all for 4 weeks before my autumn marathon, and the ride to the marathon is a nice cushy ride in bidnuss class, 5 days before the race.
I was really tired at that marathon in Italy in March, having traveled from Bangkok to Tokyo to Reno to Belgium to Italy in the previous 2 weeks. That and the previously mentioned shoe problem added about 3 minute to my time. Not making excuses, because I chose my travel schedule and my shoes. I am responsible for these mistakes.
