there is definite benefit to the long slow run, however, based on some strava stalking and your 5k race pace mentioned a few weeks ago, that run was probably excessively slow!
I really rate the training paces that the attack point website spits out based on your vdot score, have a look and use them to give your training more specific focus in the same way you would use power zones on the bike to improve threshold power: you need a mix of sessions to improve your strength, endurance and technique.
