I don't know any runners who go longer than 2:30. If you're putting in solid mileage the rest of the week, a 2 hr long run every week (some weeks slow, some weeks fast, some weeks progression) is as long as you need to go. So your typical distance runner may be hitting 15-20 miles on their long run. Conventional wisdom has the long run usually equal to 20-25% of the weekly mileage. This is pretty contradictory to standard distance running training.
So basically you do some running during the week, then a crazy ass long run on the weekend that probably takes a beginner runner up to 3+ hours to do. A lot of the 'beginner' marathon plans are designed to just get the athlete to the finish.
