It means in the end/in the final result instaed.

A few examples:

-"I hate wearing braces! They make me look so ugly!"
- Not really. They might be a little uncomfortable in the beginning but in the long run it is really worth it. Your teeth will look great!"

one more example:

-You spend too much time on the computer playing games instead of studying!
-Yeah, but in the long run I always come up with straight A's!
