Most of the time I go based on distance simply because I'm running a measured loop. However, if I'm base building, especially on an unfamiliar or very long trail, I might just do an out and back based on time. Speedwork is generally dependant upon where I'm doing it. If I'm on a track, the speedwork is usually measured. If I'm on the roads, I'm more likely to do time based intervals. Totally depends upon what I want to accomplish with a specific workout.

My Runner's World program doesn't give me the option. But, given the choice, I'd also pick distance knowing that if I work harder I could be finished earlier.
