Training Tips: The Weekly Long Run
A dedicated marathon runner, Timothy Higgins enjoys discussing training
techniques with other runners to see what works and what does not. Higgins
especially emphasizes the importance of engaging in at least one long run
each week. These runs train an individual not just physically, but also
mentally, for the big event. Each person has a mental threshold for the
amount of exercise that can be tolerated. Frequent long runs help expand
this threshold. Too often, Higgins has witnessed people with seemingly solid
training regimens fail, simply because they did not include enough long
runs. Long running sessions affect a number of physiological changes in the
body. For example, they increase the storage capacity in muscles for
glycogen, a basic energy form. Bodies can only store a limited amount of
glycogen and when runners deplete those reserves, they will likely be
unable to finish an event. Long runs also strengthen feet, joints, tendons,
and muscles, making injury less likely and recovery times shorter.
Individuals training for a half-marathon should aim for an 8 to 10 mile run
each week, while full-marathoners should complete a run of no less than 15
miles each week and push to 20 miles at least a couple of times before the
event.
