Now everywhere I read says long runs should be slow, atleast 1-2 min slower than your training runs.

What Galloway said at a clinic last week (not that I'm going to go this slowly!) is that you should run a mile as fast as you can, add 30% onto that pace to get your marathon pace, and then add another two minutes onto that to get your training pace. He didn't differentiate between short and long runs. He said that it was his opinion, though, that you can not run a long run too slowly. I'm not posting this to create a debate - I'm just writing what he said.
