This is a really good (and short) article about high mileage running - the very real benefits and the very real cautions. This is an interview with a college coach, who does some seriously smart things in getting his kids to increase mileage without injury.

Another really good article: http://runningtimes.com/Article.aspx?ArticleID=26489

This deflates the "you have to train fast to race fast", in favor of building base and endurance, and then bringing speed into your long runs and tempos. Its the way to really get faster, not just get injured.
