The secret to running to to occasionally stress your system beyond what you perceive as your limits. Run a race every so often, go all out. Leave it all on the road / track / trail. Your body adjusts and just like that longer runs become easier. Your comfort zone pace is faster. Just something I always knew but just realized today on my run.
Also, there is no emotional or mental ailment, no amount of stress that cannot be cured by a good, long run.
