I don't disagree distance is a cool metric and carries many other benefits. I'm just drawing a parallel for parent poster.
One of the other side benefits of training for speed is that there is just no feeling like finding yourself getting faster with less and less effort. My favorite runners highs have come from taking on a hill that used to be hard, and running it both faster and with less perceived effort than previously.
