long runs
Distance training sessions
Long runs are extended periods of continuous operation or production.
A machine might have a long run before maintenance; a factory scheduling long runs minimizes setup time between batches.
In printing or manufacturing, long runs produce large quantities in a single stretch.
The phrase also describes sustained trends: In the long run, markets tend to recover.
For runners, a long run is a training session covering greater distance than usual—the weekly mileage builder.
