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.
Running at slow pace ensures a recovery and prevents from both cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems overloading.
If your goal is not to increase the running speed or achieve high sports result I don't consider it necessary to perform special interval trainings that can be associated with risks mentioned above.
Good afternoon.
What should my heart rate be if I'm 40 years old and my pace during long-running is about 4 min/km?
Could gym trainings have a negative effect on the increase in running speed?
Good afternoon,
I'm 32. I train about 3 years. My pulse wasn't more than 175 bpm for all this time even during hard interval training.
Is it normal or should I try to "accelerate" my pulse up to maximum values corresponding to my age?
Oleg Sergeevich, good afternoon.
Please, explain me how to make a schedule of interval runs in order to increase the anaerobic threshold if I'm an amateur runner.
Thank you.
