I was reading a forum on how to improve what you can do. One guy suggested picking something you can do with a bit of ease and just doing it every hour on the hour while you're awake. Like doing 25 pushups every hour on the hour. That would improv how many you can do.
Here's my question. Say you decided to run .4 miles (Something I can do with a bit of ease. Then running that every hour on the hour. That would mean I'd have run a total of 5.6 miles in a day. That would also boost me to 33.6 miles a week. Much more than I'm doing now. So in theory would that work?

Well, I've never really thought about this.
Usually running goes by a train and rest cycle.
It would be difficult to find time to run every hour. :twocents:

Around my apartments is a driveway that's about .35 miles around. I usually run a mile or two in the mornings. Then I have about 7 hours in the day that I don't work. So that would put me up to 20 miles or so a week. Not trying to be lazy but trying to find interesting ways to help me improve my running.

No. It would just train you to run .4 miles very well.
Another example: you're training for a half marathon. You run 35 miles a week. You will be more prepared and get more out of a 5 day program structured 5-7-5-7-11 than you will a 7 day program of 5 miles a day.

can't see how that would build any type of endurance whatsoever. it's about going long as well as going fast, as far as i'm concerned.
getting out there every hour would completely bore the heck out of me.
i mean, you'll actually log miles but they'd be kinda junky miles.

Yeah. Makes sense. Just trying to find new ways of improving what I'm doing. Thanks for the advice.
