<p><b>Weekend runs</b><br>
You will find much benefit from doing a long run once per week.
Generally, the pace is slow. The important aspect of this run is
the amount of time you put in. Any time over one hour is the
beneficial period. If you have not been doing these this year,
then start with shorter times and build up each week. Limit the
week to week increases to 10%. Once you have progressed to 1 1/2
hours, add in fast finish runs where you run the last 20 minutes
at a half marathon pace.<br>
</p>
<p><b>Alternate run days or do cross training</b><br>
If you want to run more than 3 days a week, do treat the extra
runs as recovery runs. <br>
Consider doing strength training. There are many routines designed
for runners. Cycling, hiking, swimming, yoga, are great cross
training activities. Basically, keep as active as possible without
hurting yourself.<br>
