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.
So it really depends on how long a distance you're talking about. To give a ballpark figure though... Human [endurance running] speeds range from approximately 2.3 to as much as 6.5 meters per second in elite athletes. Average ER speeds for recreational joggers range between 3.2â4.2 m s.
