how do you periodize running?

[ThaiFighter_83]

I know how to do it with weights...

First, 2-3 months of hypertrophy (6-12 reps per set, 3-6 sets per exercise, 30-60 sec rests)

Then, 2-3 months of muscle endurance (12-30 reps, 2-3 sets, <30 sec rests)

Then, 2-3 months of strength (5 reps or less per set, 3-6 sets, 2-5 minute rests)

Then perhaps a cycle of power lifts (like clean and jerks), and maybe perhaps a cycle of circuit training (one exercise right after the other)....etc....etc....enless possibilities for changing the routine every 2-3 months once your body starts to plateau.

BUT, my question is....How do you do that for running, though? Perhaps running hilly routes for 3 months....then run flat routes for 3 months?

Honestly, I don't know the answer, but why do you want to know?.
I typed 'running and periodization' into Google and a load of things came up, some of teh advice was different so I'd look at it yourself.

Here's the link - Let me google that for you

EDIT - I deleted the rest of this as it was bullshit and wrong.
