Base Training Winter

I have decided to start a base training phase of running this winter. For me, this pretty much consists of running at a medium pace for 60 minutes, 6 days a week. As I add more mileage, I may increase the amount of time on some of those days. It works well in the MN winter because speed running is just hard to do in the cold and snow. Yet, you can just keep trucking along merrily at an easier pace as long as you are dressed warm enough.

I've recently been capable of running fast, but never had that great endurance that gets built into your legs from running a lot of lower intensity miles. I had previously scoffed at such training, but decided to give it a try since it seems to be the one aspect I am lacking.
