In running a Marathon is 26.2 miles. 26m 385yds to be exact.
In cycling, there is no set distance, common long distance rides are a Century (100 miles), Half Century (50 miles) or a Metric Century (100K or 62 miles).
There can be any number of variations of these distances, such as doubles or triples.
Most touring cyclist regard a Century as the equivalent to a running Marathon.

I will assume you do your long run on a weekend day (most people do it whatever day the race will be on), most likely Sunday. The day after should be a fairly simple recovery run. Probably about 30-40 minutes at the same pace you did the long run. The pace shouldn't hurt, but your muscles may be sore. This should allow you to recover and do a workout run on Tuesday. The day before depends a little bit more on your schedule. Most schedules have hard days on Tuesday and Thursday (and the long run on Sunday). This means friday is a recovery day. So saturday's run doesn't need to be a recovery, but can't be too hard. I would recommend an easy pick up run, where you start slowly, but slowly pick up the pace and go kind of hard for the last couple miles. Not hard enough that you hurt, but quick. Then do some strides. This should leave your legs fresh enough for the long run. Good luck.

My FIL is training for a marathon as well. I know when he isn't doing his long run, he either runs for 3 miles or goes biking. He runs daily though, and he slowly builds up the distance and speed each time. Good luck with your marathon!

Depends if they are using the term marathon literally. For example, I know a bowling alley near here that has a sunday "bowling marathon." it's not 26.2 miles of bowling. It's just a lot of bowling. :)

There is no official bike marathon. The term is used as anyone or organization likes to use it.
