What do you consider a long run when you here other people talk about their WEEKLY long runs?
I'd say if I hear anything about 12-13 or above i give them a thumbs up. Just wondering what others think. I should say i am a college runner and i hang with college aged runners.
20% of my weekly mileage.
my response to LONG run answers from a college guy would be:
2-3=go die
4-5=you must be joking
6-7=mediocre
8-9=average
10-11=above average
12-13=good
14-15=very good
16-17=extremely good
18-20=incredibly good
21+=you are stupid for running that as a long run

Normally, I'd say anything over 90 minutes. But when I was doing marathon training, I was doing that at least 6 days a week, so in that case, it was anything over 2 hours.
But in general, I'd say 90 minutes is a good rule. If you only get in 10-11, you're slow enough that maybe you don't need to be doing more mileage yet? The quick guys will get in 14-15 in that time, which is certainly long enough.
Sofa to the refrigerator (take a short break) and then back to the sofa. It is imperative that you take the short break. I have never suffered a running injury doing this run and I do it several times an evening.
Good luck with your own running.
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?

Red Bull (who sponsors Mondo) calls Mondo the pole vaulting Usain Bolt. Is that a fair comparison?
