    I run 8 miles twice a week. I haven't tried anymore. I never tracked the distance when I was in the Army. The longest was probably a 1/2 marathon.

    :OO Some people have went a lot of miles.

    The most I can run is 5-6 miles. That's all I've ever tried, which would take me around an hour. I usually don't run for a couple hours...

    I ran my first marathon Nov. 2011. Just know that if you get to that level you can easily lose it! I'm now back to only 3 miles. The training was really intense and I probably would not run another marathon but it was one of the most personally fulfilling things I have ever done.

    Furthest to date has been 12 miles. I run 5-10 miles typically when I'm running often. Occasionally run a fast 3 to mix it up. Planning on doing a half marathon in the spring / early summer.

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

    I am up to 12 and working on getting to a 1/2 marathon. A year ago I finished C25K. You just keep working on it.

    I just finished C25K in Nov., but I can 'jog' a bit over 5 miles. I'm sure I could go farther, I just haven't tried yet. :)

    Wow...!! You guys are amazing!!! I thought me running 6 miles was the bomb lol got a lot of work to do =)

    Just keep working at it. Enter races like a 10K and just enjoy it. It's not about miles, it's about smiles. :)

    I did a 3.8 mile trail on Thanksgiving. Running has slowed due to weather but around 3 now. I am going to increase that this year!

    run?.. zero . I HATE running :smile:

    Ditto. Most I run these days is across the road. Probably stems back to a time when I was at school and we were forced to run in the wind and rain through muddy fields. :mad: Same reason I don't enjoy football or rugby.

    I did 7.05 this AM.

    Ran a half in November. I *might* do another half but 5k/10k is far more fun lol

    The farthest I've ever actually run was a little over 6 miles. I know I could go further, but never really had a reason to.... Most of the time I'm running for exercise and to burn calories and my "routes" vary from 2.5-6.1 miles - which is generally half an hour to 75 minutes of leisure running, enough to satisfy my exercise requirements.

    Maybe I should make a goal to go further this year!

    :bigsmile: I suck at running. But if an ax murderer were chasing me, I'll bet I could run pretty far! :wink:

    I've done one half, a few 10k races and more 5ks than I can remember... But unless there's someone to race, I get bored, easily. So four miles? Without wanting to slit my wrists?

    I'm a new jogger/runner and haven't run outside yet. I'm looking forward to doing so in the spring. The lack of scenery change on a treadmill can get boring.

    My longest distance so far is 3.2Km (2 miles). I'm working on improving both distance and speed (mainly distance) until spring.

    My longest so far is 7 miles. My average run is probably 4 miles. Not bad considering I just started running at the end of January last year and used to hate running. :smile:

    13.1. I've run four half marathons in the last few years and am signed up for four more this spring. I'm doing a more advanced training plan this winter/spring and will hit a 15 mile training run in a few months. Then at the end of May I'll start training for my first marathon, so there will be many runs beyond 15:)

    The most I've ran is 8 miles. My goal is 13.1. Really want to participate in a half marathon. I'm currently working towards that.:happy:
