What might the equivalent distances be for equines?

Does a 10K run = 25 mile LD?  Would that make a marathon = 50 miler, an 
ultra-marathon = to a multi-day?

Or would a flat track race of say 1.5 miles be the equivalent of an LD, 
making the 10K actually = to a
50 miler and a marathon = to a 100?

If we're using human runners' training info, shouldn't we be clear what the 
equine equivalents might be?
