Endurance runners will typically do one long run a week; shorter distance runners may do one long run a fortnight. The long run should be between one quarter and one third (certainly less than half) of your weekly mileage. So if you are running 10 miles a week, your long run should be around 3-4 miles. The table below sets out recommended distances for long runs.
Or are you just starting out? Assuming that you are about in between I think the first two weeks you should jog 1/2 a mile every other day. If you cannot jog the whole thing then its ok to do a brisk walk until you finished. For the third and fourth weeks (maybe into the fifth) jog 1 mile (if you can) every other day. Just keep increasing the distance every 2-3 weeks and only jog every other day. Once you start doing about 2 miles a day you can do it a little bit more frequently, but be careful! Maybe you could do 2 miles on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and then 1/2-1 mile on Tuesday and Thursday. Then you can have a break on the weekend.
