Long Run Insights

Running longer than 13 miles during half marathon training can be beneficial, but a 20-mile long run isn't necessary for most runners. Those comfortably running 35-40 miles per week can effectively train with 14 to 16-mile long runs, providing ample aerobic benefits. It's crucial to consider pace and time on feet, as a long run should align with race goals and not exceed what's needed for optimal preparation.
