Running long in Norfolk
Building the long run
Long runs work best on continuous, uninterrupted terrain. Road and mixed surface depending on route creator. Plan water stops in advance — most of these routes pass drinking fountains or shops, but not reliably in the outer sections.
Marathon and half-marathon blocks
Progress the long run by no more than 10–15% per week, and keep one route constant so you can compare weeks honestly. Repeating a loop twice is usually easier to fuel than a single point-to-point.
Safety on longer efforts
Review each route on Plotaroute before running, especially where routes include off-road segments.
