One reason people are attracted to running is the sheer simplicity of it. Running requires one thing, a pair of shoes - well, two things.
That simplicity is a thing of beauty, but to take it to any level beyond basic fitness, or just to make it more interesting, it's worth learning some basic training guidelines, not to complicate it, but to enhance the experience.
Many people, at least early on in their running career, run the same number of miles every day. Nothing wrong with that if extremely gradual improvement is the goal, and if i doesn't get too boring, but learning a few simple running training principles will make running a fascinating hobby as the runner has the ability and knowledge to plan weeks and months of training and evaluate how that training impacted their performance and enjoyment of the sport.
