Time Vs Distance?

Who trains running time and who dies distance? For me, because I do so much of my training by heart rate rather than pace, time us the determining factor. For instance, today I'm supposed to run for 2 hours IN zone 2. But I also do distance. Thursday I'm doing 4M at my LT pace. Who prefers what method and why?

    It's a mental game. I do distance rather than time. I can quit earlier if I can go faster. It'll take me longer, overall, if I burn out before I get to my distance. Then it's all a battle with myself not to race every run.

    Maybe I'm stupid and switching to time would ultimately be better for me.
