Could you tell us a little about your diet right now? It's hard to say how much you'll have to change the diet without a benchmark. Also, what style runs are you doing? Do you do any fartlek runs? I suppose those would be similar to HIIT. HIIT would be another thing to consider depending on what distance races you do. It's a great way to add speed work to your routine. Also, taking one of your running days (or two) and changing it to a different style of cardio would help. This would keep your body from becoming too well adapted to running.. Variation in your running would help also.

I'm not super clear on this, so hopefully someone else can tell you if this is viable. Running fasted or semi-fasted will help you to burn fat. But! That means that post workout nutrition will be SUPER important because you're doing so many miles each week. And like I said, I'm not sure if this is good for a runner or not. When I used to run, I couldn't spell the word 'nutrition'.

Hopefully some of the other guys (and IK) will pitch in some more specific info. Glad to see that you posted.
