Dave Elger on Running, Racing and Training: Training Log from Gelindo Bordin (1988 Olympic Marathon Champ)

Check out Bordin's log here. Lots of 60-80 min steady runs recorded but nothing about what pace he ran them.

About Dave Elger

Dave became the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point's first national champion when he won the N.A.I.A. marathon in 1976. Following his career at UWSP, Dave pursued his interest in distance running by earning a masters degree and participating in research at the famed Ball State U. Human Performance Laboratory under the direction of Dr. David Costill.

His best marathon performance came in 1977, when he placed 3rd in the inaugural Chicago Marathon running 2 hr 25 min.

After turning 40, Dave ran 5 consecutive sub 2 hr 40 min marathons including a 2 hr 34 min at Boston in 1994. Since his 50th birthday, Dave has broken 3 hours on 4 different occasions, including 2 hr 55 min in Seattle and Napa Valley at age 55.

As he has throughout his long career, Dave continues offering valuble tips and training advice to beginners as well as seasoned distance runners.

He currently is the Health Promotion Coordinator at Camp Humphreys in Pyeongtaek, South Korea.

Testimonials

For several years, I worked to run a sub-3 hour marathon. Although I trained fairly well, I was unable to shave off the few minutes necessary to get under 3 hours. I began following Dave Elger's training guidance and dropped my times progressively in each subsequent marathon until I finally broke the 3 hour barrier in adverse conditions. I was even able to run a follow-on sub-3 when Dave and I ran Boston together a few months later. Dave's training advise is practical, efficient, and effective regardless of your running goals. ---Jon Beyer

Dave- Bonanza, it's all coming thru from your blog postings clear as a bell. Great content ,and man you are prolific. Keep up the fine job. ---Doug Riske
