I'm surprised how people are confused about high mileage. I thought it is a general consensus that high mileage doesn't make you faster per se, rather it allows you to tolerate better higher volumes of race specific paces, intervals, faster tempo runs etc. which is what actually makes you faster.
Very true. Also, by incorporating strong subthreshold runs throughout the base period, you push the anaerobic threshold up from below, so your threshold pace improves before you even get to V02max work.
