    The most I've ever run was 26.2 miles. I probably could do more, but I really wouldn't want to...:wink:

    13 is the most I've run
    8 is average
    Normally no less than 5
    My traditional long run is 10ish miles due to time constraints.

    Indoors I run like 2 mile then I'm like OMFG someone kill me cos it's so boring

    5 is about all I can stand without killing myself and keeping a 6 mph pace.

    Longest was a little over 9 miles. I typically run 3-5 depending on what else I did that day. I can't run on treadmills.

    0!! I don't run....can't even if I wanted to. The impact jars my bad knee and sends me crashing to the ground in pain. Every time I hurt myself, it was because I was running somewhere, whether hurrying or playing so I just don't anymore. Other forms of exercise are safer for me!!

    Zero as of right now. As many as needed if there is a bear or a man with a chainsaw chasing me. =)

    Right now, around 4 miles. I'm new to running and I've done one 5k, my 2nd is tomorrow. I'm working on increasing my distance so I can do a 10k this year. (I think as I continue to lose weight it won't be quite as difficult. I started running 30 lbs into my weightloss at 300 lbs and I've lost an additional 30 lbs since then.) I typically run 2-3 miles a day, 5 or more days a week.

    Just over a year ago I managed 15 but I was barely picking my feet up at the end and it took over 3 hours. I then injured my knee so went after a couple of weeks off went back to 3 and started building up again. I'm up to 12.5 in 2 hours and I think that's a long enough run for my purposes, any longer and I'd need to be carrying food and extra water.

    I can't run on tredmills! I I always kick the front and run up too close on the console...plus the sound of my feet pounding on the belt resembles the sound of a earthquake or herd of rhinos.

    I'm training for a half marathon at the end of march, but the most I've done to date is 6 miles.

    I did my first half marathon in October a few months before that I couldn't run for one minute. We jogged the whole way and did 2hrs31. The Nike running app was great for training :)
    Now I try and do a 5k at the gym 3 times a week but it is boring running on a treadmill, will be going outside when it's a bit warmer.
