So far, my farthest is 5.5 miles. I'm a new runner, and I'm training for my first marathon in October. I'm looking forward to much farther than that soon!0

My last 1/2 marathon i did 6 miles without walking. I'm training for the chicago marathon. walk breaks don't reallly bother me and reall don' seem to mess with my time much.0

26.2 miles, the marathon
Ditto. I haven't seen a reason, for me, to go beyond that.0 -
Marathon except that I walked through some of the water stops. Half marathon without stopping for water.0
-
10 miles...half training is up next with training runs up to 15 miles0

Marathon distance. Though I'm considering running an ultra or two 0

So far 15 miles. But that is going to increase to 26.2 here in a couple of months!0

Mine is about 4...I joined this group because I signed up for a half in October and I figured this is the best place to get some great tips! I am not a natural runner...at ALL.0

I can and have run 20-milers with no walk breaks but have found that I perform better with a thirty second leg-stretching walk break every couple of miles (route dependent). Have tested it and my times remain similar. Only when running to break a PR will I not walk on a route.0

actually, you are! our bodies are designed specifically for distance running!0 -
The furthest I have run without breaking into a walk is about 17miles, while training for a marathon. My other longer "runs" have all contained (substantial) walks0

Well then I need to figure out how to get my head out of the way!! Slowly but surely, it's getting easier and easier...0 -

I hear ya'! I hated running growing up...but, you can rest assured it's mostly mental. Running long distances is actually something human beings are pretty good at. Go figure!

I am up to 9 miles now, my half is in August

26.2
I did a 50K once (31 miles), but I had to make a quick stop to apply some emergency butt chapstick...
I hate stopping when I run, too hard to get started again!0 -
So far I've only run 5K, I'm very new to running and to physical activity in general. I would love to do a marathon or even a half marathon someday.0

Although I have covered marathon distance twice, I was forced to walk both times. The first cause I totally bonked, the 2nd cause the heat was brutal. Sometimes I consider training for & running a 3rd just to not walk, even if its a slower time than my others. So to answer your question, I did a few 20 milersw/no walks. And one with no gels, just a little bit of water.0
-
5k here, multiple times. Just started running in February. You guys give me inspiration to take it further so I hope I can!0
-
Same here. Running 26.2 on March 1st 2014.13.1. Looking forward to beating that.0 -
13.1 for right now.0
-
10.7 miles so far; looking to up that to 12 miles this weekend, but will have to drop my running companion (Haley the 85 pound GS) at home at the 10 mile mark!0
-
18.5 miles is the longest so far. Marathon is June 22.0

I didn't walk at all during my 20 mile marathon training run.
When it came time to do the actual marathon, I did walk during water breaks during the second half and I walked a short amount when I was trying to eat some fuel. Otherwise I kept running because when I felt at my most tired, I reasoned that the faster I went, the sooner I would be DONE and could rest.0 -
Mine is just over 14 miles going to attempt 15 tomorrow though. Wish me luck... 0
-
15 Miles a few weekends ago.
I have a hard time accepting that it is okay to walk...I somehow feel like I'm cheating, but the more I talk to hardcore runners(marathon and ultra-marathoners), they all say that they've walked at times...especially when trail running...so I'm trying to accept that it's okay!0 -
I've only been running for about two years (June 6 is my anniversary) and my interest is the Half so the longest I've run "this time around" is 14 miles.
However, in 1985 when I was a young (29 years old) paratrooper getting ready to go to Officer Candidate School, I decided to start running to get in shape for the 14 week school. There's an overpass on the All American Highway that runs into Ft. Bragg that was 6 miles from my barracks so I would run from the 'racks to the overpass and back. That's great exercise, no question, but spring time weather in North Carolina can be brutal.
I decided to run the Longstreet Run which went from the "downtown area" (the built up area) of Ft. Bragg out to the dropzones and back. A long way. All of 20.2 miles, in fact. I'd only been running a couple of months and had never run more than 12 miles so going to 20 was not an easy task.
I didn't do very well in the race but I did manage to finish in the top half of my age group (I'm pretty sure that my finish time was 2:45).
Something good did come out of the race, though — it was that evening, as I sat at a table at Chi Chi's (yes, that bastion of fine Mexican cuisine) that I decided to quit smoking.0 -
10k
I'm slowly working up my endurance0 -
Probably 30 miles... but walking for me has nothing to do with running... chances are I 'burnt out' mainly because I didn't eat enough... I don't run with my phone, water or food either, one day I plan to change this...0
