I think muscle breakdown would only occur with super long distances, like 30+ miles.

Not if you're already stressed (cortisol) from work, poor diet, dehydration, financial stress, etc. The need for long duration cardiovascular exercise is marketing at its finest. We made treadmills, we need to sell them somehow.
Gluconeogenesis. That's all I'll say. Your idea of burning fat as fuel does not always occur. It depends upon your nutrient intake.
