A traditional 10K, this was my third attempt, and my first where I didn't have to rest beyond stopping to get a drink of water.  I generally don't do pure cardio as prefer weightlifting. I've done endurance runs of 7-15K range over a day with various obstacles (Spartan, Mudder, etc.)

I started weightlifting recently. I've never found myself able to enter cardio 100%, and I don't think I'll ever do extreme weightlifting. I'm not sure what your lifting schedule is like, but personally I've always found a balance for cardio/weightlifting to be the best for me.

6 days a week.  Mix it up with heavy days, light days, endurance days and cardio days.  Muscle confusion to constantly push myself and work on different sets of the body.  In the past I sometime would pas son cardio days because I hated feeling so slow, but realised in training do the bad days is where the work pays off the most.  I understand people who want to do just what aspects of fitness they love, but I need to rest and recovery parts of my body while still pushing it.
