Safer mileage building strategies:
- Spread extra mileage across multiple runs, not just the long run.
- Add small increments to easy runs, warmups, and cooldowns.
- Progress long runs in baseline increments every other week.
- Balance distance increases with lower overall intensity that week.
- Don’t increase mileage and intensity at the same time.
- Never “make up” lost mileage after a missed week.
