5k race = 3.1 miles. Most beginner runners will take an average time to finish a 5k race of 30 - 40 minutes. 10k race = 6.2 miles. The typical time it takes to do a 10k race is 1 - 1 1/2 hours. Half marathon = 13.1 miles, 21.7 kilometres. A respectable time it takes to do a half marathon is 2 - 2 1/2 hours. Marathon = 26.2 miles, 41.2 kilometres. The average time it takes runners to do a marathon is between 4 - 5 hours.
As you extend the long one to 26 miles, you build the exact endurance necessary to complete the marathon (14 to 15 for the half marathon, eight to 10 for the 10K). Those who have marathon time goals can extend their capacity by running as far as 30 miles three to four weeks before the marathon.
