After 1000 Miles of MAF Training & 4 Months of Dedication This Is What Happened

After 1000 Miles of MAF Training & 4 Months of Dedication This Is What Happened.

It all comes down to 2 hrs -
I find that higher mileage is key to improving your base.
Mileage, or the total volume of a runner’s workload, is one of the best metrics for success. Simply put, the more you’re able to run, the faster you’re likely to race.

To build a strong aerobic engine, gradually increasing mileage during the base phase of training is necessary. This is why base training has to start months before any goal races.

Focus on three metrics:

Increasing the long run by about a mile every 1–2 weeks
Adding 1–2 more runs per week
Adding 1–3 miles to weekday runs every 1–3 weeks
The end result should be a gradual, progressive increase in mileage that will help build endurance, injury resistance and economy. If you stay consistent, you’ll develop the strength you need to handle the miles by doing the miles—so that after a few months of gradual increases what used to be a peak week becomes your comfortable, default mileage.

Run Long to Build Fitness
The almighty long run has become nearly synonymous with endurance. To increase stamina, increase the distance of the long run.

Why? The benefits are clear:

Denser mitochondria (the “energy factories” of your cells)
Denser capillary networks to deliver oxygenated blood
Mental toughness and resolve
Improved muscular strength
Enhanced running economy (efficiency)
More energy efficient
You’ll race faster!
No base phase is complete without long runs. No matter if you’re a miler or ultramarathoner, a veteran or a total beginner, the long run is an absolutely critical component to successful training. The majority of benefits really begin to kick in when your long run lasts between 90 minutes and 3.5 hours.
