Hi, folks! I’m training for a 25k trail race this summer. I’m currently at just over 10 miles on my long runs. Are there any seasoned runners who have advice on closing in on 16 miles?

    Just gradually increase your long run distance with at least a couple of shorter runs each week in between. If it's a hilly course work some hills into your training.

    (Make sure you familiarise yourself with the course beforehand as well, I did a 50km trail race a couple of weeks ago where the front pack somehow got confused and missed a turn and ended up doing about 5km less than the full race.)
