Is this for general health and well being or a training methodology?
What is your desired end state? |

Studies have shown running and joint problems are not well correlated. Injuries and genetics seem to be more correlated. I also contend that prolonged joint dysfunction may play a roll as well.
Why not vary? |

My $0.02 5K 3x, 10K 2x with 2 off days/ week.
Spread out your longer runs (gradually increase one to a more manly 10-12 miles  )
Add in one track/speed day per week (instead of 5K, run 20 mins before and 20 mins after your track work). I like to mix up my distances, and giving your body a couple of recovery days is a nice idea, especially if 25 is in your rearview mirror. Also vary the pace on your short and medium runs. Do some intervals, do some fartleks. |

In general, I would recommend the higher frequency plan. Lots of reasons but bottom line, for running it seems to work better for most folks. Also, when life gets in the way and you miss your run, you've only lost 1/6 of your weekly total, not 1/3.

Again, why not vary?
Eventually your body will become accustom to the same run over time. Are you lifting weights? |

For the record, I fucking hate running. It ranks up there with going to the dentist or getting a 30-minute prostate exam. But, in terms of staying fit, it's the most time-effective and low-cost way I've got, so I suck it up and do it. 
ETA: The genetic mutants that actually ENJOY running, keep telling the lie that I'll eventually like it, and get some kind of magical endorphin rush or something. Never happened. Not now, and not when I was really fit in the army. My brain just isn't wired that way. Holy hell, I wish it was. How cool would that be - to actually enjoy physical exercise, instead of it being horrible torture. |

For general health, focus on lifting weights more than running. The high intensity intervals of weight training will be better for your heart than running in the long run.

Neither.
If you are runnig to stay fit, do high intensity interval training. Warm up run for 3 minutes. Flat out sprint for 30 seconds. Jog for 3 minutes Flat out sprint for 30 seconds. Do about 6-10 sets of this. Your overall pace will be about that of a 5k (At least it is for me), but you are destroying calories and really strengthening your cardio, not to mention your sprints and overall endurance time will greatly improve. The downside. HIIT is hard as F$%#! ETA: You can do HIIT about 3 days a week. Resting in between days. |

Eventually, I would say that you would want to change your rep scheme if all you did was 3x5 even if you were increasing resistance. If the OP plans to run the same distance the same way every time, then yes he will become accustom to the run and see no improvement after a short time as the body will have adapted to the stress placed upon it. I am not warning anyone off, just a different approach. |

ETA- like Kev said, you have to stress the body to force adaptation. If you do the same thing every time then you're not adding stress, your body will stop adapting as much as the current stress becomes "normal' That's why you add weight, vary run speed/distance or whatever. |

I would contend that by varying the intensity and volume may result in faster improvement. It takes time to recover, no matter what stage anyone is at. The trick is doing enough to improve or enough to help with recovery and speed progression.
My training program is 3x5 based but I don't do the same percentages every time I lift and some days I do alternative lifts, seeing quick progression. |

Run 3 or 4 days a week with only 1 run being longer distance. The shorter runs can be a faster pace and the longer run should be slower.
Studies have shown at least 3 days a week is needed, but rest days are important as well. The body needs time to recover. Some can run 7 days a week, but I've bnever liked to do so. Much better with at least 2 days off of running a week. I've usually run a marathon every year and have run ultras as well. I'm in my mid-forties and have managed to keep all of my marathons around the three and a half hour mark. |

Which do you think is better, and for what reasons? I'm wondering what the advantages (and disadvatages) of either approach is. Obviously, with the 10k approach, I'd get a "rest day" every other day. But with the 5k, I'd never have to do the "longer" 10k run. Is one "better" for joints, for example? What do y'all think? I'd love to hear any opinions or experiences. How about alternate between those two each week? |

I'll never be advance then
But in all seriousness, I'm training for a marathon and many marathon training programs I've seen (if you want to call that advance), low end weekly milage programs are around 40-50 miles during peak weekss and I've seen really advanced programs approaching 100. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Right, that's because it's a beginning program. Anyone that's an intermediate lifter is going to get a different recommendation, because 3x5 IS going to be suboptimal. Running 18 miles per week is not an advanced program.
Shit runners say. No shit. Worse than horse people.

Thats just plain retarded. I know some sub elite/elite runners who dont approach that for 50k training. |

The two Oly trials runners (female) I know put in 85-105 mpw during their heavy training times building for the trials. Jenn Shelton told me that she routinely did 20 milers on back to back days and ran 10-15 most other days of the week, but she wasn't the most thorough record keeper . This was in the '07-'08 timeframe when she still lived in VA Beach and was working at the tri shop where I part timed building bikes.

Less than 5% of the running population that can handle that amount of volume. The rest that do, end up out because their bodies cant handle the grind. ETA: What was your heavy training volume like back in the day, Jolly?
