Answer 2

to really build up strength and endurance, the best thing to do is run mileage

slowly build up mileage byt he end of the summer to about 6 or maybe 7 miles, but dont increase mileage too quickly or you can get a stress fracture

even though you are a printer, if your season isn't until the spring, then you don't really need to be training all that hard, you just need a base so that when intensive training does start, you can handle it

but don't train too hard because you don't want to burn out mentally and you don't want injuries
