Subject: RE: Longest weekly run / total weekly mileage percentageAre you also biking or doing other workouts, or is running your main or only form of working out during this period. I think that could make a difference. But yeah, 30-40% is pretty normal, though 50% or even a little higher isn't crazy. Depends on where you're at and what you are hoping to achieve. As a general rule, the higher your total volume, the lower percentage of it will be your long run. (I guess this is probably obvious.) At least, that's the way it generally goes for straight marathon training. I'm not sure how adding swim and bike into the mix changes things. I'd be curious to hear from experience triathletes on that point.
