Endurance Experiment

I have been experimenting with different frequencies of endurance running.  At first, I was doing a little bit of easy running 3 days per week.  But after a while, it seemed to take a toll on my legs and it left me fatigued.

Now I have cut my long run/easy run to just one day per week.  So far, it has worked out fine.  I still do some other running during the week, in the form of interval training and sprints.  But I limit the continuous running to only once per week, and I plan to gradually extend the distance on that run.

Is this the best way to optimize endurance?  No way.  But perhaps it's the best way to possess endurance within a framework of total health.  I think endurance is much lower on the priority list compared to other health attributes, such as aerobic capacity.  So I will stick with this plan for a while and see how it turns out.
