Increase the number of runs to 5 or 6. Two medium runs. One "long" run. Easy runs the rest, nothing shorter than 45 minutes.

When you reference medium, I'm guessing this to mean distance and not intensity? Curious.

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

What is the general opinion of other types of physical activity in relation to base miles? Is it just not counted if its not specifically running? I'd assume there has to be a benefit......cardiovascularly and otherwise (assuming you're using your legs in some way).
