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.
Once your speed eclipses 6 mph, according to running coach Mike Antoniades, as quoted in a BBC Sport article, your workout technically shifts from a jog to a run.

Walk This Way Some people prefer using jogging mechanics, but travel at a slower pace than 5 mph. Although it's possible to jog at a very slow speed, Antoniades suggests you're better off using a walking rhythm. When you begin to jog, your lower-body joints receive increased impact from your stride.
