Yeah acquire speed then work on endurance.
Speed is significantly harder to develop so spend the time working on that, then work on gradually increasing the distance at the higher speed.
Endurance is easy to develop, speed isnt.

This is true but if if it's for simple exercise sake speed isn't a real factor to him. Unless it is then that changes everything.
Also depends on your previous running/cardio experience. If you've just started, work on finishing a set distance before worrying about time taken.
All goal oriented really

Hmm. They didn't have that special when I last got a box. Maybe that's why the price changed.

Is this consistent? Meaning is it always 4 miles and always twice a week?
Also do you stop at any point during the runs?
When you're done are you spent? Or do you stop because your 4 miles are up?

speed is important even if it is for simple exercise sake. Increasing top level speed "raises the ceiling" so when endurance work is done it delays the onset of fatigue, thereby automatically increasing endurance.

I used to stop at the halfway point and walk for 2-3 minutes. Yes for the past month it has been consistent

Again yes but we don't know the condition this guy is even in. He may have knee or hip problems on top of other things.

If someone has knee or hip problems, increasing endurance is the last thing you want to work on.

This should help you.
All about building that balance, knowing what you can do, and pushing yourself for speed and distance.
It also keeps it fresh. Running for speed or distance over and over again WILL get boring. If you set goals for both and ran at 2 different paces it'll help keep the workouts entertaining. We're not pros, we can't sit and do the same thing over and over, it starts to suck, it's just the truth

My pops ran 21 miles yesterday morning then cleaned out an apartment for the majority of the day.... he's also 54.
I feel like a ***** when I only run 2-4 miles with him

Another thing you can do bro is have different exercises lined up
For example
400m Sprint day
Make a certain distance day
Run for a set amount of time day
Fastest mile day
Things like that. Keep it different and fun.
Cardio is just like working any other group. You don't just do flat bench all day when it's time for chest. Gotta do other things and switch it up

Whenever I do a long distance race the top 2 have always been either an older man, or a young kid. It's like if you got it, you got it.
