Dave believes in a number of general training principles, including: 

1. Build a strong foundation of aerobic running.
2. "Hard/Easy" -- run longer and/or faster one day, but shorter and/or easier the next day or two.
3. Complement the foundation of aerobic running with sensible doses of various methods of anaerobic running.
4. Gradually increase your training load as your body gradually adapts.
5. "Listen" to your body for hints of over-training and adjust if necessary.
