Before you know it, you are running a 5k! But a lot of runners have a hard time making improvements after they have become comfortable with 2-3 mile runs. You want to continue to build your endurance and run a little further or longer. Maybe you even want to run a 10 miler or half marathon, but itâs daunting.
The answer is relatively simple: most runners just need to run more. Even if youâre running 5k races, youâre an endurance athlete. You need endurance training to achieve your potential and that includes high mileage. Of course, high mileage is relative based on where you are right now. But more mileage than what youâre doing right now is almost always a good idea.
