    Well, there's a lot of that sort of information available
    online if you do a quick search.

    I can tell you that it takes years and years of dedication
    and tremendous natural ability, along with a special mindset
    to even come close to having the Olympics as a viable goal
    to begin with.

    There are lots of Olympic-calibre marathon runners who work.
    Rod DeHaven worked full time (if I remember right) during
    his drive to the Olympic Trials a few years back. Obviously
    their bosses make some concessions, like say, 4000 calorie
    lunches and then sleeping on the job! I can't see myself
    being very functional after a 140 mile week.

    If you do a google's group search on Andy Hass and
    Training Week"

    cheers,

    If you do a google's group search on Andy Hass and Training
    Week", you'll find one of this group's regular contributor's
    training, in which he recently made a serious drive to make
    the Olympic standard.
