Intro: This is a quick summary of 15 Mile Long Run Workout from The FOD Runner. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.

Key Points:

  • Start with a solid easy base: 10 mi at an easy, conversational pace (around 8:30 min/mi). This builds mileage without taxing you.
  • Add a focused uphill segment: 5 mi at a faster effort (≈7:25–7:55 min/mi) on a long, steady climb. Use the hill to boost strength and confidence.
  • Finish with a short downhill finish (≈0.5 mi) to flush out fatigue, then hydrate.
  • Keep a relaxed breathing pattern, stay mindful of form, and drink water throughout.

Workout Example:

  1. Warm‑up – 10 mi easy, aim for ~8:30 min/mi average.
  2. Uphill set – 5 mi at 7:30 min/mi (or a pace that feels “hard but sustainable”). Choose a long hill or gradual incline.
  3. Cool‑down – 0.5‑1 mi easy downhill, gradually slowing to finish.
  4. Hydration – Sip water or electrolyte drink during the last 2 mi.

Closing Note: Give this 15‑mile long‑run a try, adjust the paces to match your own training zones in the Pacing app, and enjoy the hill work. You’ll feel stronger and ready for longer distances—go for it!
