((i&#039;ve seen 100mile training plans that have the longest training run is 64 miles. (can you imagine having to dig out that last 36mile stretch on race day?? :)!!)) the marathon training plan i followed had 20miles as the longest training run. i&#039;d seen more advanced plans that had 30mile runs. i have a running coach now and he is of the philosophy that an hour run with sprints mixed in (paraphrased) which gives you the benefits of a long run in less time.
