How many miles you Run?

Talan79

4-6 miles, 4-5 times a week. I like to do intervals.
First 20 min, run at 8mph for 2 min, walk at 4mph for 1 min. Next 20 min, 7mph for 2 min, 4mh 1 min, last 20 min, 6mph for 5 min, walk at 4mph for 1min.

I only run twice a week. 5K at 10 minute mile pace during the week and I ride my bike 40 miles at @ 17.5 mph then jump off it and run a 10K at a 12 minute mile pace

My target is not speed at this time in my training cycle. I do the ride and bike consecutively and keep my heart rate in Z2.

It is about running and cycling smoothly and efficiently at an endurance level heart rate.

How many miles per day or workout do you run?
I used to run about 3 times a week and 3 miles each. But we have signed up for the half marathon, we are working up our mileage. Last week, I ran 15 miles.

Do you run with the incline?
I don't run on a treadmill any more. I used to when I first started C25K and use incline 1. Now, I just run outside and my neighborhood has some elevation.

What's your time ? What's your speed?
My best time for 5k is 26:04. If I don't pay special attention and just run 3 miles, I tend to finish under 30 mins. I am working on running more on conversational pace, which would be more like 10:30 to 11 min/mile.

3 miles takes me 1 hour.

1-2 days a week outside, at 9 minutes per mile
4-5 miles!

Per workout I try to get a 10k warmup. On days I only run I will do nothing short of a half marathon.
No incline when I run indoors but outside is fair game.
Time depends on mileage. I tend to run between a 9-10 minute mile on longer runs (anything over 10k). 8-9 on shorter runs.
You can determine speed by basic math.

So ten miles is a warm up?
And half a Marathon is what??

10k is not 10 miles. It's roughly 6 miles. Half marathon is 13 miles.

I run 2 short runs (never less than 5K), 1 medium run (5-10 miles), and one long run (10-25 miles) per week. The Walt Disney World Marathon is a little over 2 weeks away and I run that every year. I live in Florida so I run outside every single run. I cannot imagine anything more boring than running on a treadmill. I know some of you don't have any alternative, and it's awesome that you're still getting it done, but that has to suck something awful. lol

20yearsyounger

I try to run at least 20 miles a week. I run mostly to relieve stress and I don't have a particular plan when I run. Lowest normal run is 4 miles, highest normal is 13. Anywhere in there is fair game doing the same 10 min mile.

Depends on what is chasing me and how far it can run. ;-)

Zero.

If I am going to run though, I shoot for at least 3miles (outside, slowly). Anything less seems not worth it. This will happen maybe 3-5x per year. I really hate running. I just downloaded that zombie app though. Maybe that will be fun. I really need to increase my activity level a little.

Florida heat and humidity might tempt me onto a treadmill, but upstate NY snow doesn't. In 2015, I've run outdoors in temperatures ranging from -10° F to +91° F. -10° was easier to deal with. We got fresh snow 24 of 28 days in February, but I ran outside 4 days a week anyway. The most challenging weather to run in: Shoreline Half Marathon, 85° and 98% relative humidity. That was much worse than Winter Warrior half, with temperature falling from the teens to the single digits and 25 mph winds picking up a bit after sundown.

There is no bad winter running weather, there is only inappropriate clothing. All the bad running weather comes in the summer, right when the most races are scheduled.

For the last couple of weeks I've been doing about 5-6 miles of HIIT per day on the treadmill. I run at an incline of 10% with 3.5mph as my walking stride and 7mph for my sprints.

MobyCarp, do you use any sort of "gator" to keep snow out of your running shoes? Don't want to run in boots but I haven't found anything light and comfortable that would work when the snow gets only a few inches deep.

DancingMoosie

I generally run 5-6 miles once a week (usually Sunday) and then 2 other shorter runs during the week. This can change depending on weather and other workouts, though. My pace is somewhere between 9:25-10 min/mile. If I lift heavy, my pace will usually be slower the next day. There is very little incline when I run at the park track, but I might incorporate some incline into a treadmill run. If I run in a neighborhood, it could be hilly. Sometimes my legs feel tired, and I do incline walk or walk/jog intervals.

When there's snow on the ground, I wear trail shoes. That's currently Saucony Peregrines. I haven't had any issues with snow getting into the shoes in two very snowy winters; don't know how much of that is due to the shoe, how much is due to the wool socks keeping my feet warm even if they get wet, and how much is due to running technique. I don't seek out deep snow, and I have not done much true trail running; but the trail shoes really help with loose or packed snow on the streets.

FWIW, in the Land of Lake Effect Snow, the authorities are pretty good about plowing the roads. I might need a different solution if I lived where the local authorities go cheap on snow removal.

I am not supposed to run after my knee surgery, but I love it too much to give up. I only do two miles on the days I jog, and I am sticking to three days a week. It's not much, but it satisfies my urge to go for a long run. I just started last week again after 6 months off because of my surgery, so I am at about a 12 minute mile. It's slow, but they have been the best 12 minutes after being told I would never run again lol.

I wasn't much different when I started a year ago. Now I run a about 25 miles a week. I do a long run about 8-9 miles, and 4-5 shorter, 3-5 mile runs. Outside, my speed is anywhere from 10:30-13 minute miles, treadmill is 9:45-11 minute miles usually, on a 1.5-2.5 incline, I prefer to do hill work on real hills.

Thanks for the quick and helpful response. My town in CT does pretty well with the removal so I was thinking of some gators I saw online that were intended for trail runners to keep sand and other stuff out of their shoes. Thought it would work well on snow and slush.

When I'm running (primarily a cyclist but typically do a fall running cycle) I'm usually around 60-80 mpw. Usually run around 5-12 miles depending on the run, maybe a few more if it's a long run day. Normally I run outside, but if I do run on the treadmill I use 1% for easy runs, and 1.5% for faster stuff.

Pacewise, easy runs are usually 6:50-7:30 mile pace, harder workouts depends on what I'm doing. Continuous 3-5M threshold run usually around 5:45-6:00 pace, faster VO2 stuff can be around 5:00 pace.

cwolfman13

i rarely run and in the event that i do, it's usually a 5K and i'm pretty slow. i much prefer my bike. i try to get in at least 80 miles per week on my bike. i've primarily been participating in charity rides and whatnot to this point, but in 2016 i'm getting my category 5 USAC license and my coach will start putting me through the paces for racing.

pondee629

Once it starts staying light after work I'll get back to my 4.5 miles three times a week with a 6 mile, or so, run on Saturdays. I pretty much stay on an 11 minute mile pace. I still find it funny how my high school mile splits are now my half mile splits. I guess I'm now a half fast runner ;-)

That's amazing. You're probably one of the best runners on MFP!

Smells a bit iffy to me...

A 50 minute warm up?

I almost missed my train going to work this morning, I had to run a 99th of a marathon and only JUST made it.

This weekend I'm going to drive a little over an Indy 500 to go and see my folks for new years. While I'm there I'm hoping to have time to take my grandfather's hunting rifle to the range. I'm scheduled to shoot a biathlon's worth of rounds there.

Five days a week, 35-40 miles per week.... outside only

This is my current schedule too. One long run (currently at 15 miles), and 4 runs of anywhere from 4-9 miles. Speed varies depending on the goal of the run. No incline, but last week I was somewhere with lots of hills, which was a nice change.
