I had sort of found this out by experimenting. But for now, the base must be built for endurance. When I get to running 10 miles, I plan to work on speed more. Right now, I have one day a week dedicated to the long runs with hills and have reached about 7.5 as the norm. On the horizon I see 8 miles before the end of December. The other days are targetted at about 4-5 miles. One day each week I plan to a short course speed running. That is needed to make sure the muscles are strethed out with long strides. There are books on this. I think I put a link to a guy who writes books on marathon training. The first two are free.
