Running Long
As the distance of your long runs increases, the frequency of the long runs decreases. Between 12 and 18 miles, you take your long run every other week. As the runs move over 18 miles, your long runs are every third week. Throughout, you continue to run as scheduled during the week, building your ability to go 26.2 miles. Our last long run will occur about 4 weeks before your targeted marathon and will usually consist of a fully 26.2 miles.
