    A 5K-4 miles is all I can seem to manage at the gym because it's so damn boring. I normally just focus on speed on the days the weather forces me inside. My outdoor runs are rarely less then 5 miles, normally I do an 8 mile loop occasionally adding an extra 2-4 miles to this on a days I have a time for an endurance run. I guess in a typical week I run at least 30 miles.

    Three days a week, anywhere from 3 - 6+ miles per run.

    I can't run at the gym. Treadmills bore me. I need outside. I just hate the cold weather.

    :laugh: Exactly! I do about 5k a few times a week in the gym and then a long run on Sundays. I can easily run 8 miles on an outdoor trail, but mentally/emotionally I can't handle much more than a few miles on a treadmill. :tongue:

    I'm a slow runner but I love it!!

    I try to run 5-6 days a week. Mileage varies depending on whether or not it's marathon training season (I plod one marathon a year at least... slow runner here! 11 min/mile for a marathon).

    But at least 5Ks on the weekdays and a long Sunday run (8-10 miles) during off-season - I would say averaging about 25 miles a week.

    During marathon training season (usually a 16 week cycle), this can go up to about 50 mile-60 mile a week.

    If the weather sucks I will just slog it out on the treadmill (yes, the treadmill sucks etc etc but it's better than not getting a run).

    I'm doing 11 miles on Sundays, 5ish on Tuesdays and 4+hill sprints on Fridays. Mixed with gym on Monday, Thursday and Saturday seems to be keeping me trim :-)

    3-4 times a week 4-7 miles.

    I like cold weather. Hard to get out, but I own the trail. It's all about the gear.

    I run 4-5 times a week and rack up 30-35 miles per week. I am starting marathon training soon, and this number will come down... contributed to giving me a nasty injury

    I normally manage to fit in 2 runs / week and run 5-10 miles
    ( Plus I cycle 50 miles / week) and do pole dancing, hula hooping and parkour)
    Need to find time for more runs as I am at a plateau at the moment

    Weekend long run (12-20 miles, depending on where I am in marathon training). 1-2 runs during week of 4-6 miles. If I can't get in 2 runs during the week I substitute plyometric interval training for one of the runs.

    Then strength 2 days per week, yoga one day and rest 1 day. This has helped me recover from an IT band issue while still improving my running.

    Currently I'm not managing very many miles. But it's been a busy time & I've shifted my workout focus. I've ranged anywhere between running 2-3x for 6-10 miles to 5-6x for 50 miles. But a typical week, non-marathon training, I get about 4 runs for 20 miles in.

    I run a different amount every day but generally around 70 to 80 per week.

    Varies - I like doing different training plans so it often builds. I usually run 4x a week between 3 and 6 miles. My first week on this training plan my first week was a total of 10 miles, but this last week (6th week) I'm up to around 17m (it's hard to tell what it will be since I have timed intervals left).

    I LOVE doing different types of runs - tempo, pace, interval, base. Changing it up is the name of my running game. I play sports in the summer, so I tend to focus on shorter, faster distances then and focus on longer run goals over the winter.

    I run about 8-9 KM 4-5 times during monday-friday with at least 1 10-13k over a weekend, sometimes 2 of those big ones.

    Not sure that that means in miles
