Dola, forgot to say, in the smart coach plan it does let you specify your running distance for your race to be 12k (7.4 or so miles), but because of how aerobic bases work, it will have your long runs be much more than 8 miles. So if the max you ever want to run is 8 miles for your long runs, then you could actually train for a 5k race. Or another option is when it has a 10 mile long run scheduled, you just stop at 8 if you want.

The plans are just a guide, never have to do more than you really want.
