hills

"... hill training is beneficial because, when going uphill, you have more engagement of motor units - the bundles of muscle fibers that ignite while running.  This enhances muscular strength and endurance.  You also likely engage a portion of your core more when running uphill because every time you push your legs harder into the ground, your core must stabilize to compensate for the tilt... (also) pushing yourself up a hill helps you produce more power as opposed to sprinting on flat surfaces." - Tom "Tinman" Schwartz

the long run

"Many parts of your physiology improve as a result of these longer runs. The under-developed parts of your circulatory system are enhanced; neglected capillary beds are expanded and new ones are created. This increases oxygen transportation and utilization, thereby improving your Steady State. Also through aerobics training, your heart, which is just another muscle, becomes bigger and is able to pump more blood with each contraction and to pump the blood faster. Your lungs become more efficient, with increased pulmonary capillary bed activity, which improves the tone of your blood, allowing you to get more oxygen out of each breath. Blood circulation throughout your body becomes better, waste products are eliminated more easily."  - the Lydiard System
