    4 miles is the farthest I've gone so far. I'm planning on doing either 4.5 or 5 miles today or tomorrow. I expect that 5 miles will be my max, due to time constraints. But I'm still really proud of that, because I just started running in August and never thought I could run at all. I love and hate it at the same time, but I am always up for the challenge of a run. I'm so impressed with ya'll running so much farther....great job!

    Most I have ever done in a single run is 15. I am training for my first marathon. I am fiercely proud of the fact that i have never ever ran a single mile on a treadmill no matter how gnarly the weather.

    I started running using c25k in June 2012 and run 10k 2 maybe 3 times a week

    I have never been on a treadmill either! Although I don't have the same gnarly weather bragging rights that you do. :tongue:

    10 miles was the farthest I have ever run many years ago. I did get 8 this morning. Planning on running a half marathon this year :-)

    I just started running again and I am supper slow. I can do 2 miles but it takes me 25 minutes.

    Nonstop (no walk breaks) I have run 5 or 6 miles. With walk breaks, 13.1 miles (half marathon at 3:2 run/walk intervals) and it took 3 hours. But I figure even running half a mile is better than what I could run a year ago, which was literally a block or less. Practice makes perfect!

    The farthest I've gone was 13 miles.. but it really depends on the pace. If I run at 9 or 9.5mph I could probably go longer..

    The most is 13.1.. My base run is 3 miles, I ran 6 today (long run day).. a few weeks ago, I ran 9 on long run day. It just depends on what I feel running. I can just take off out the door and run as long as I want..

    13 is the most I've done, not done it much though, 10 miles is normally enough for me, although I would love to do the marathon (didn't get in for this year but will apply for next)!

    I hate running when its cold though, so for now I tend to aim for around 10 miles per week, but that normally increases when its warmer! I have a 10 mile charity run in May :)

    I was running 6 to 7 miles before I had a bad horse riding accident, it took me over a year to recover(I couldn't even walk for three months). Now I'm running 3 miles, I could probably go further but my 12 year old daughter started running with me.

    Continuously, or over a week?

    I typically do 5-6 miles runs (kinda) daily, with a long run for about 10 or so. Averaging about 30 miles per week.

    13.1 - but that was before I got injured. Working my way back up there.

    Heh. I run a lot more miles now than I did when I first answered this in 2013.

    Longest recent run was 12 miles at a good pace. A few years back I did a 100 mile endurance run but that averaged a ~14 minute/mile pace throughout, so I wasn't running straight through the whole time.
