Yes.
No
/thread.
But yea, it would be greatly beneficial to run a long run once every 7 to 10 days. Even if the long run is just 2 or 3 miles longer than an average run.
Yes but I am gonna piggyback this with another question. Say you normally do your long run on sundays but you have a meet on Saturday. When do you put the long run if you are too sore or need to rest after the meet?

You skip it. Run less, run more slowly, lay pipe; whatever works to recover.
For a spring track runner? No absolutely not, that would be a disaster. However, for a fall track runner, they are essential. Now if you live in Australia, things might get a little hairy.
Long run every week. If you rest on Sundays, then Saturday long run. If not, then Sunday long run. If you race on Saturday and rest on Sundays, do a speed workout on Tuesday, long run Wednesday, and easy runs Thursday and Friday to be fresh for the race
