That's it, 45 minutes. There's a physiological reason for this being the right answer: The stress hormones overtake the "exciting" hormones around the 45 minute mark, which makes longer runs more taxing and harder to recover from.

Food for thought, if you do only 5k’s then your long run should be 3x that race or 9-10 miles. 15-18 miles is a good range if you run 10k’s and half marathons, conversely 22 miles is or was the norm for marathon runners. Long runs help the body recover when run well below your race pace. Runners of today can’t hold a candle to us first runners back in the 1970’s because we ran at a higher level and trained like demons.
