I think everyone should aspire to have a theory named after them, so here's my attempt: Tanner's Law -- There's really not that much difference between running 6 miles and 15 miles. It's difficult to build your longest run up to 6 miles, but after that there's not much of a jump in difficulty until you reach 15 miles.
Lots of my running friends have agreed with this observation, and I myself just confirmed it again today with my first 15+ run since Boston...

I did, but it's not my law. Try asking the scientist who posted it.
