#3 BIG VOLUME MILEAGE RUN - accumulating large working mileage at faster pacing than race pace
#4 TIMED RUN - aka "cruise" - learn to listen to your body without forcing distance or pace
#5 MOST IMPORTANT RUN - Discipline required
- If this is foreign to you, HIRE A COACH!!
- Don't simply GUESS at how you should be doing this on a weekly basis, or within a larger training block
