8 miles is definitely a reasonable long run for 5k training. Question is, has the runner properly ramped up mileage over time.

I generally recommend increasing mileage 3-5 miles each week, with an easier week every 4th week. And increasing peak mileage by not more than 15-20 miles each year. (15 in most cases).

Long run should generally be between 20-30% of weekly mileage.

I focus mostly on 5k training, my long run would usually be between 14-18 miles when I am at peak mileage of 70-80+ miles per week.

I wouldn’t be concerned with weekly 8 mile long runs if the runner has previously ran around 25 miles per week.

Yes, ran in college.

Moving time 2:32:07, elapsed time 2:32:26. Paused at 0.04 mile because I started running before I took off my shirt and paused to walk around a water/mud puddle

Did not have any issues. I haven’t taken gels mid long run before. Heart rate was towards the bottom of zone 2, wasn’t running hard, did not feel like I needed any carbs/energy. I would have drank water last 3-4 miles but I don’t carry any with me. Was’t bad though, no dehydration symptoms. I usually get 150-200oz of water per day so I rarely have hydration issues. Temperature and humidity were both good so that helped.

I didn’t see any news. Do you know why it spiked?

Depends on what you are used to. If you run 3-5 days a week, probably a day off. If you are used to 7 days a week, get a short easy run in

SPGC from .38 to .49 in the pre market so far

Cramer said it is still to early to buy Nvidia.

Also looking at $FMST for tomomorrow

I would imagine 80-90+% of people who can run 26.2 miles at 7:26 pace could handle 3.1 miles at 6:26 pace?

Real question is how much did we pay him?
