I'm training for a marathon coming up in the spring, and I usually get my long run in on Saturdays. Any suggestions on which Cathe video would be a good substitute for when I'm not able to get out due to the weather, etc?

My vote definitely goes to the Scrambled Eggs premix from Body Max 2! That is what I use to prepare for 10ks and it is 80 minutes of cardio joy. Another option is Cardio Fusion. Best of luck!

Body Max 2 at 90+ min. is a great choice, Carrie!
I would also suggest Low Max. Just did that one yesterday and it's a fun step workout. It may fit the bill as it's long (70 mins.), steady state (like a long run), not toooo intense (probably working in low to middle of target heart rate zone), and it has a nice leg focus ('blasts' inserted in the workout focus on dynamic leg work but it is low impact so won't over-stress your joints).
Some other options that may work for you:
*Cathe's spin bike workouts - if you want to ramp it up, spin is great repetitive work for the legs and may increase your leg turnover rate and it also works the complementary muscles in the legs which can help break through running plateaus. Cathe's workouts all have longer premixes so you should be able to find the time frame you want. And they are basically steady state (except 2 short tabatas in the S&S Cycle Sweat which you could skip over if desired).
*X10 has a 77 minute premix if you want one of Cathe's longest workouts that gives you some killer cardio conditioning.
Best of luck on the marathon this spring, Michelle! Let us know how it goes.

The original Body max is another suggestion --/-- 90 minutes. Same format as Body max2.
Any extreme premix --/-- >70 minutes of Cathe cycling dvds is also a suggestion.
Cardio leg Blast aka CLB extreme is good too
