Answer:

C. Increase the length of the run.

Step-by-step explanation:

The overload principle is a surprisingly straightforward idea. You must gradually burden the body in order to improve fitness. To put the body under enough stress for it to adapt and get stronger, faster, and more powerful, lift bigger weights, run farther, train more often, etc.
