I'm training for a marathon and I'm a beginner. On my first run, my coach told me to do a run with an average pace of 8:07/km for 50 minutes. She called it an "aerobic run" but asked me to ignore my heart rate and focus on pace. What do you suspect she is doing?

While training for a marathon or half marathon, is it a good strategy to break up a long run over two days?
