Well, I'm relatively new to running, so at 6mph on the treadmill, I can go about 5 miles. When I am outside on the gravel with the hills around here, I can go about 4.0
-
3.8km in 25minutes , outside..on a 'good' day0

I am new to "real" running (meaning that I actually want to do it and I have set goals for myself). After one month of training my longest distance was 5.01 miles at 6.1 mph.
When i started I could run 1.5 miles comfortably, though.0 -
Today was my first time jogging outside, generally, I'll jog on my bosu until I burn 300 calories (about 30-35 minutes). I can do 1 mile in about 10 minutes. I did 3.92 miles in 42 minutes, I did stop to walk during some points to catch my breath and get my heart rate back down to a good level.0

I did an 11 miler last weekend in preparation for my very first half. I've been running two years. My pace was around 11:30 per mile.0

depends....how long is that zombie gonna stagger along behind me?
ETA: and did he bring his friend T-Rex along?0 -
I plod along at 5.0 and I can go about 1.75 miles before I wanna die0
-
I can make it 2.25 miles at 5 mph. I'm a smoker, though, so I may not be the best baseline...0

My longest training run so has been 18 miles, but I'm planning on a marathon next year and some longer races, too.0
-
7-8 miles0
-
Not very far or long at all. Running's always been hard for me.0
-
13 miles today. Training for a half in two weeks.
My goal is to finish in under 2 hours. I've done it before in this race, but will need a lot of thing to go just right.0 -
I completed a 20 mile training run today, running continuously. I've also completed 3 marathons and 11 half marathons.0
-
I can run from my car, into the house to the bathroom, depending on how bad I have to pee.
Seriously tho, I am working on walking right now. Then walk a little faster and farther. One day I hope my new knees will let me run, at least a little bit.
Good for you all. Keep up the good work.0 -
The longest distance I was able to run was 4.3 miles without stopping, it was outside and started with a 1/2 mile up hill and made a huge loop. I haven't ran that for years but It would be nice to see, in high school my fastest time was a 6:05 minuet mile. It would be nice to start running again and see where I am at now.0
-
Uhh? I once added two 30 -second bursts at 5.0 mph to my treadmill routine. D@mn near killed me!
That being said… I'm working up to it! Plans to run a 5K sometime in the spring and then another one in the summer. I'm comfortable at a brisk walk finally… so I'll get there!0 -
I just started running and my best so far has been 2 miles total, but split up in increments of running and walking. The longest at one time is 3/4 of a mile. We all start somewhere!!!0
-
My longest is a half marathon (13.1 miles). Over the past year, I have gotten busy with other things and my running has slipped. I was running 7:30ish miles at my best now I am running 8:50ish. Hoping to get my 5K time under 23:00 in the next few weeks.0
-
I usually run for about 50/60 minutes, and last time I went on the treadmill I could do 5km (3.1 miles) in a little over 20 minutes. I don't often use the treadmill so I usually just head outside and run for as long as I can.
I do sprint workouts too, which absolutely kill! Great results from it though, in appearance and endurance.0 -
I'm just curious, how far can you run?
It depends. The farthest I've run has been about 15 miles on a training run, that was at about a 9 minute mile.
Most of my training is in the 6 mile range at anything from 8:30/ mile to 10/ mile depending on my objectives for the session, with my long run each week ranging from 8-14 miles depending on where I am in my plan.0 -
I'm on week 8 of couch to 5k in 9 weeks I would recommend to anyone to build up slowly from walking it's great0
-
No further than a 1/4 mile....
But I can walk 8 miles! Does that count? No? Okay then...0 -
The furthest I have tried running so far is 5 miles, in 51:36. Only started running in August.0
-
I can make it 2.25 miles at 5 mph. I'm a smoker, though, so I may not be the best baseline...
I'm a smoker, too!
I do 6.5 miles in about 1hr 15, but I prefer to run the 5k (3.1 mile) and I do that in about 30-31 (although I pulled a 28:37 out of the bag at race for life in May and I still don't know where that came from)
Maybe some day I'll get up to 10 miles, but I'm lazy.0 -
More than the bugger behind me will chase me for!0
-
the longest i've run continuously is 18 miles. but, i've also clocked 20 miles per day on numerous occasions - doing 12-13 or so in the morning, and the remainder in the evening.
i've done a couple halfsies, finishing under 2 hours in both, but have never wanted to run a full marathon. half marathons are fun for me, with no pressure. a full marathon i don't think would be very fun, and i think i'd stress out about it too much.
interestingly though, i had a dream last night i ran and kicked *kitten* in a full marathon.0 -
I can usually run from the couch to the toilet, but any farther than that my knee acts up.0
-
I've done a couple of marathons and that's 26.2 miles, but I didn't think it was worth the wear and tear, so now I only do half marathons. The half is just long enough to know you put in some effort, but short enough that you still feel good at the end. :drinker:
I think my favorite distance is around 8 miles. I get a pretty good high off of that distance, it's a good workout, and I'm not completely wiped out at the end. I'm not a fast runner, but I can go and go without stopping.0 -
As of this morning - 5k :-)0
