What counts as a long run—and how long is too long?
In this episode of the Marathon Handbook Podcast, hosts Michael Doyle, Katelyn Tocci, and Alex Cyr break down the long run for every race distance: 5K/10K, half marathon, marathon, and even ultras.
We talk long run benefits (aerobic durability, fatigue resistance, musculoskeletal strength, confidence), how to structure long runs across a training block, and the big debates: Saturday vs Sunday long run, easy long runs vs workouts, fast-finish long runs, and whether you should cap your long run at 3 hours.
