This is good advice, but beware, I learnt to fly at a very small (for 5000MSL) runway, 5300x40ft.
But the runway lights were installed in preparation of a planned upgrade that never happened, therefore the runway lights are 5300x100ft, at night you think you have a wider runway and more space for error, but need that landing light to make 100% sure you are straight down the middle.
