Cross Training
Long Runs
Endurance is the base that everything else is built off of during a running season. These typically start with long runs at a comfortable aerobic pace until the body is in shape and able to start running faster speeds. The distance and speed during these workouts are largely dependent on your experience running and how good of shape you are in when you start your program. They increase in intensity as the season progresses.Example 1: LSD (Long Slow Distance)
Run 6-9 miles at a comfortable pace with some mild hills mixed throughout. You should be able to carry on a conversation during your workout without being out of breath or being uncomfortable.next 5 days

Even [Glenn] Cunningham, strong though he is, could not live up to the strain of setting such a pace, combined with the mental worry of having a lightly stepping black shadow right on his shoulder, locking strides with him, almost breathing in his ear—for the trick of shadowing an opponent within sight and hearing is one of the more maddening and distracting forms of tactics that one can use in any race.
