I want to know what the most important thing about distance runningtraining is. Is it speed workouts, strength building technique training or endurance? Maybe something else? I have heard a lot of stories about that and all of them are different. And all of them came from guys that do not run long distances.
I am a distance runner. All those things you have numbered are important. But people often forget things like easy run or stretching. Those things prevent injuries and that is the most important for every athlete. When you are injured you can't compete. The big five building blocks are also very important. They are: fartlek, hills, intervals, tempo run, and the long run.
