Man what a journey!
This focused and informed training sure takes time off your runs but I am thinking about all of the endurance and health benefits you are getting with the strength! Building muscle does so many things along the way to improvement and I can't think of many better uses of your time.
Do you have a strategy to minimize wear on your joints?

Thanks man!
I try to have a very balanced schedule that gradually improves the basis. While I aim to post 2 times a week of my main training sessions, I run 6 days a week from which 4 are slow (zone 1 - zone 2) to focus on increased blood circulation and general basis - which also helps to strenghten the joints
My strenght work is mostly body weight routines (every day: core + push + pull focussing on volume & harder variations ) kettlebell 2x week - mostly specific strenght building for mountains (unilateral strenght and balancing).
I should benefit from more stretching but the issue there is that you should build that in off season and the last few years I did 3 - 4 marathons a year so not really time to really incorporate that without risking overdoing it 😆
