Buy a dictionary.
Look up the word "metaphor."
You're welcome.
People who don't know how to spell "your welcome" should not throw glass houses.

I’m a person. You’re a person. That person over there is a person. And each person deserves to be treated like a person.

No, no, no. What he means is "people in metaphors, shouldnt throw glass houses at stones"
Or something like that, anyway.
People are not elastic bands, thus there is no need to stretch.
Runners are not soccer players. Thus, there is no need to kick.
Actually some people are blues pianists, thus, a need to stride exists...
However.
People are not warm soft semi-spherical bread products made from dough. Thus, there is no need to "roll" out their muscles.

Workouts are not bananas, therefore there is no reason to "split" them.

In other words, being able to run fast aerobically (all races 1500m and above are at least 75% aerobic, 90%+ at 5k, 98% at Half Marathon). You do that by training yourself to run long. You'll get about 90% of the way there on purely long runs and 1hr steady state runs with strides a few days a week. That is what 'base' training is: to get you 90% of the way to peak fitness with a big aerobic engine and a very low chance of injury. Then 10-12 weeks of speed and VO2 Max stuff to peak. Then there won't be any more gains from that type of work until you build a bigger aerobic engine.
Do some reading by almost any reputable running coach/author.
Or you can show us by by being the first to coach someone to a World Championship medal your way.
'Aerobic engine' or Aerobic Capcity is really just a combination of basic health and fitness. Just because lots of coache and authors write what you have above, it doesn't mean they understand it. They just repeat each others mistakes.
You are confusing Aerobic Capacity with efficiency. Two different things.

There is no need to combine abdominal work with aerobic work, else one will develop a naval base.
Running is not salsa. Therefore, there is no need to "pace"
People are not musical scales. Thus, there is no need for "steps" in training.
People are not nylon stockings. Thus, there is no need to "run" in training.
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?

Mark Coogan says that if you could only do 3 workouts as a 1500m runner you should do these
Red Bull (who sponsors Mondo) calls Mondo the pole vaulting Usain Bolt. Is that a fair comparison?
