Runners: When do you do your long run?

[spedrunner]

When do you feel you get the "best" long run during your training schedule? Ive read and experimented with several, just curious as to when yours is for you

surprisingly mine is NOT after a rest day, its usually after a track or tempo workout

The day after a cross training day. Well, really the day after a short run, but while im ecovering from a stress fracture, i cant do that

Right now my long runs are the day after a short/slow run. It's been going pretty well.

The best is probably after an easy run day. The worst is 24-36 hours after a heavy leg work out. I don't know why I bother.

When I did long runs a long, long, long time ago, I liked shake out runs of 2-3 miles the day before.

I run 5 miles at a slower pace the day before long runs and it's worked so far:)

Hmmm...most of the time it's after a rest day from running. Sometimes I'll lift the day before.
