The long run is the cornerstone of marathon training. In marathon training it has been found that 3 runs of 28-35 km over the 8 weeks prior to the marathon are an important predictor of completing the marathon. The long run is also an important element for middle distance runners. The 10K runner will benefit from runs of 13, 16 and even up to 22 km or more and a 5K runner will from runs of 10, 12 and up to 18 km or so.
