I like to run a lot but slowly (6:30 - 7:30). I don't want to run faster but I want to run farther. I've completed a marathon and I'm going to run an ultra-marathon.
Is it enough to do long runs and strength trainings or not?

Good afternoon.
Is it possible to train exceeding your maximum heart rate? What excess is permissible and how long?
