    I like running anywhere from 3-4 miles a day for 4 or 5 days a week and then Sunday is my long run day where i usually put out about 6 miles.

    I just started exercising again this week, walking with a few jogging intervals (increasing as I go). Typically my plan is one cross training day and one rest day with activity the rest of the days of the week.

    I'm trying to run between 3 - 4 days a week, and I cross-train the other days. At one point I was running 5 days a week though.

    I usually run 4 days per week.
    Mon, Wed, Thur and Sat
    Usually my weekdays are short runs (no less than 3 miles, though) 3-5 is usually what I am for.
    Satudays are currently 8 mile days. I am trying to increase that to make the eventual 13.1! :-)

    I run anywhere from 3-5 days/week and log 3-4 for my short runs, and 6-8 for long runs. I will be revamping my training schedule soon though. Training for a tri so have to include some swim/bike in there!

    My 1/2 training program has me currently at 3-4 miles 3 times a week with the 4th day being a long run of 5+ miles for now.

    5 days a week. 3 days between 3-6 miles, 1 day long run (between 7-11 miles) and 1 day recovery run (between 3-6 miles slow). I'm training for a 1/2 marathon right now, that's why my mileage varies so much. I have 1 cross train day and one rest day.

    Right now, 2 days a week. One run is simple and mostly flat 2.9 miles. The other run is a 3.5 mile hilly run.

    I plan to add a third day.

    I run ever other day so 3-4 days a week depending on the week. I am a new runner though so my body probably can't handle more than that (even though I wish it could!)

    I run anywhere from 3-5 times a week. It depends on what's going on and, more recently, the weather. I've run maybe 2 times in the last week just because it's been so hot! Usually I have 1-2 short run (3 miles), 1-2 medium runs (4-6 miles), then a long run (7-11ish miles) on Saturday or Sunday. The amount of short and medium runs depends on how many runs I do per week. At minimum I'll do one of each :)

    I like to run 5 to 10 miles maybe 5 days a week. It just depends on how busy I am work-wise and at home, to be honest.

    Right now just 3 days per week (ever other) but thinking if upping it. I don't like a 2 day rest on the weekends. It makes Monday runs tough!

    I run 4 times a week, bike 3 times a week, and strength train 3-4 times a week. Running mileage is generally in the 15-25 miles a week depending. Right now it's training time for upcoming 13.1's and a 26.2 in the spring so mileage increases are my friend.

    Every other day. My joints don't like consecutive days. I run 4-5 miles each time. I'm new to running this year - I'm going to start doing speed drills this week.

    4 to 5 days a week. Never under 3 miles, and I haven't ran past 6 miles as of yet.

    3-4 days a week, training for a half-marathon so I run anywhere from 3-5 miles right now (with mileage increasing every week).

    I also do cross training 2 days a week (spin class, heavy weights, and a boot camp class).

    Three times a week, between 7 and 15 km per run (4-9 miles).
