Actually you only want to do long runs once a week. Over the course of 3 or 4 month you long run builds to near marathon length. You only need to train an 30-75 minutes 4 days a week, plus a weekly long run.
Im pretty toned however I dont do too much running. I mainly lift weights but I have a skinnier build. I was able to run four miles without being out of breath at the end a few days ago, but now my ass is sore.
My friend at work just ran the L.A. Marathon. Amazing woman--just started running for fun 3 months ago, trained in a half-ass kind of way (longest run ever was 13 miles), then ran a 5:20 to beat roughly half of the field. Plus she's hot!
