How many miles?

aimibean

First of all, in May, I want to set myself a challenge of running so many miles. I enjoy running and do it sporadically now, but I want to get into a proper regime with the new month.
At the minute, I perhaps run 2-3 miles, and that's perhaps once or twice a week.
How many miles do you think would be appropriate and a realistic goal for me for the whole month?

Thanks.

Right now you run a max of 24 miles a month. I think your max goal should be about 30. Try to follow a general rule of not increasing mileage more than 10% per week.

I agree with the 10% increase rule but 24-30 miles in a month seems really low???? I guess it all depends on your running goals. I would not consider myself a distance runner by any means and I clocked 28 miles last week alone. I guess its all relative.
