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
-
My longest run so far has been a 31 mile trail run...I plan on going further in a couple of weeks.0

If jogging on a treadmill counts, I did a mile a few days ago at a 2.6 mph pace. ^.^0

Started with C25K last May, this year my longest race has been 30k (18.6miles), I've done 3 half marathons (with another next week) and my regular Sunday long run is usually between 10 & 13 miles (without stopping). I'm about to start training for a spring marathon and have signed up for my first Ultra (a 12hr overnighter in July).0
-
Anywhere from 3-5 miles depending on how much energy I have and how hot it is.0
-
I finished the C25K and the C210k and ran two 10 K races. I now run around 12k at least twice a week and one or two shorter runs as I am training for a half marathon.

Longest I've done lately is 13.1 miles, but I could go farther if necessary. Not sure how much. I'm not trying to increase distance now, but speed.0
-
I can't run. I take panic attacks every single time that I do. I walk very fast though and have no problems.0
-
Longest run was 10K (6 miles) in an hour.
Average runs are 5K usually under 30 minutes. Just did my best 6.4K (4 mile) time this week at 37:09.0 -
my farthest run to date is 16 miles0
-
What is this run of which you speak? I've never been able to run. Then they found out I have exercise induced asthma. Maybe with my inhaler I could do it but I'd rather dance or do Tae Kwon Do.0

If running on hilly terrain in a race sort of situation, I can manage a 5k in under 24 minutes, in fact I did my first 5k in July and was first woman back even with only 68% lung function. I can never be a long distance runner because of that, most likely but I can run fast when inspired. Longest run I did was 80 minutes and about 10km but I had a scone and butter halfway through haha which is what got me there. Longest run without stopping is generally 55 minutes.0
