long-distance
Spanning many miles
Long-distance describes things separated by considerable physical space or involving travel across it: a long-distance phone call, a long-distance relationship, long-distance running.
The term often implies the challenges of maintaining connection despite separation: They dated long-distance for two years before she moved.
As an adverb: We talked long-distance every night.
