How to run it
Run the first 16 km at long run pace, then the last 8 km at marathon pace. Take a drink before the faster part, and hold the pace evenly rather than pushing on.
What it's for
Running marathon pace at the end of a long run practises it on tired legs, which is how it will feel on race day. It also rehearses fuelling and pacing when it matters.
