    define long distance? :laugh:

    That's what I was thinking! I've only been running a year and a half, and I'm slow as hell, but I did 12 miles of running/walking intervals this morning and I do something like that every Sunday morning (training for a half marathon). Does that count? What are we showing up for? Is there chocolate?

    Hello! I am currently training for a full marathon. I do 4 runs per week...two runs for 5 miles, 1 run for 8 miles and then 1 long run. Last week was 12 miles, this week 13.1 and then next week 14 miles! I really do enjoy my long runs...kinda scary, def challenging, but mostly fun!

    I am a distance runner. I am training for a fall marathon, currently at 50 miles per week, hoping to top off around 65-70.

    Started running last year and am up to about 30 miles/week now. I'm hoping to keep building on that, and am getting ready to run my first half marathon this November :)

    I run long distances. My long run is 14 and building. I run 3 9 mile days during the week too, but over 2 runs, an a.m./p.m. split. 40+ miles a week.

    There is a group on the forums for long distance runners. It's not very active right now, but maybe that's because we're all out running. :happy:

    I'm a long distance treadmill runner. Does that count? I try to do at least 10 miles every day - often a half marathon. One day last week (2 weeks ago?) I did a marathon in a little over 5 hours. But again, on my treadmill.
