I run year-round and then ramp up my training for a race a few months before.

I change the workout every month, so you never adapt and never plateau.

I've got a personal trainer, and I train three times a week.

Training hasn't been consistent for the last week or so which was a bit annoying, but going into the competition I just had to get myself into the right mind frame.

You have to challenge yourself and your muscles. When you are really regimented, it's the same over and over and you start to get comfortable. Switching up the style of training works your muscles differently.

I'm training once a day, four days a week, and just loving life.

I train six to seven hours every single day. I wake up six days a week and know that it's going to be the same thing.

For the novice runner, I'd say to give yourself at least 2 months of consistently running several times a week at a conversational pace before deciding whether you want to stick with it. Consistency is the most important aspect of training at this point.

I try to train as much as I can, as much as my schedule allows it.

Train at the same pace day after day, week after week, year after year, and that's the kind of running the body adapts to. But break out of that comfort zone with a little speedwork now and then, and the body will learn to deal with the new demands.
