There are basically 2 ways to increase your stride length: 1  Run upwards on some type of an inclined surface, or. 2  Run with some type of resistance behind you. (i.e., parachutes, flexbands, sleds, etc.)
Endurance runners will typically do one long run a week; shorter distance runners may do one long run a fortnight. The long run should be between one quarter and one third (certainly less than half) of your weekly mileage. So if you are running 10 miles a week, your long run should be around 3-4 miles.The table below sets out recommended distances for long runs. These are the peak distances for your long run during your training schedule, which you will build up to.ou should not increase your weekly mileage too rapidly if you want to avoid injury or illness. A good rule of thumb is that below 20 miles a week you should not increase your weekly mileage by more than 2 miles a week; above 20 miles a week, you should not increase your weekly mileage by more than 10% a week.
