Are you preparing for a marathon and wondering how far your long runs should be? In this video, I dive deep into the optimal long run distance during marathon training, focusing on how to balance building endurance with increasing speed.

I answer a specific question from a viewer who asked about whether to keep increasing long run distance beyond 35K or focus on speed. This is a crucial topic for anyone aiming to hit their marathon goals, whether you’re targeting a sub-3-hour finish or just aiming to complete your first marathon.

Long runs are the backbone of marathon training, but there’s a strategic way to approach them to ensure you’re maximizing your potential on race day. I’ll share examples and insights into how to adjust your long run distance and intensity to get the most out of your training.

If you’re serious about optimizing your marathon preparation, this video will give you the tools and knowledge to hit the start line in peak condition.
