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.
Find a good location. Find a local track or flat surface of about 1/4 mile (400 meters) to run on. Tracks are an ideal place for beginner runners looking to increase their speed, as they are a standard length - 400 meters-which allows you to easily measure your progress.
