    they could join you on their bike. you probably want to run for longer than they can or should. remember their joints.

    Remember their joints? Kids run naturally....And they will probably outrun you...(and I'm talking about 5/6/7 year olds, not toddlers....)

    My daughter is in a running program at school - it started in 3rd grade. I have run with my kids before - at age 7 and 8. We would do run walk intervals for 20 to 30 minutes. My daughter could have done more but my son is just not a runner so more would have been too much for him.
