2 weeks ago | runnersworld.com | Aly Ellis

In this episode of The Amazing Runner’s World Show, Jeff and Aly talk about the importance of long runs. Every training plan has them, and most plans call for you doing one every week. But how many do you really need to run if you’re training for a marathon? Is there any magic in doing one every week? Maybe not. After all, some coaches have their athletes follow a 10-day cycle, meaning those runners would only run three long runs each month.
