That way lies madness. Or, more likely, couch time. I'd rather keep running than injure myself trying to give a young guy a run for his money.
I'll admit that it was real ego boost to have a 35 year old tell me he'd looked at my back in the distance for 9 miles of the Rochester Half, and could never reel me in; but I know I can't compete with the top 35 year olds. I'm happy if I can finish ahead of everyone in my age group or older.0 -
I do 3X a week. Other days are strength training days and a rest day. I've upped my mileage. Working on doing 6 miles 3X week. I do intervals, 10-12 min miles, sprint at 7.5 min miles.
I think I'm the only one here but I LOVE the treadmill for my running. I can pace myself better and push myself more. It's harder to run outside for me. However I did shave 5 mins off my timing when I did my first 2-5Ks this fall. When weather permits I do both.
GOOD LUCK0 -
I run maybe 3 times week.Depending the weather there in Scotland.Been very wet and windy last 20 years.I run 6 - 9 miles each time.Average time for 6 miles is 49mins.Not bad for someone who couldn't run the length of himself in May.0

Last year when I was doing more running I'd run about 5 times per week with average distance of around 6 miles but the runs would range anywhere from 3-13 miles. About 7-8 minutes/mile.

I peeked to 60-65 miles per week during marathon training.
Everything outside (so no incline or speed treadmill workouts).
Pace (easy is 8:30-9:30 min/mi; tempo or threshold is 7:00-7:45 min/mi; recovery 10:00+)
Time: You are looking at about 60-90 minutes depending on workout during the week. Up to 3 hours on Saturday long runs. On occasion, I ran 3 hr 20 min on my peek long runs where I went 22 miles.
All this got me to a 3:37:59 marathon time 2 saturday's ago at RCM.
I am looking to get to 70 miles/week this next time around.
Impressive @patrikc333 @MobyCarp, you ain't no slouch too. Neither are you @MorningGhost140 -
I run 3-4 x a week. Usually 2 x 6 mile outdoor runs (6mph) and 1x 40 min 1x 60 mins tredmill at 6.3mph.
Both hard for different reasons, indoor is boring and faster, outdoor big hills and variable weather. I was doing a longer outdoor run at 10ish miles but dropped back whilst wet and cold.. yeah I know..0 -
6 days a week, 3x5K, 2x10K, 1x10mile. It's about 30ish miles. 9:30/mile - 10:15/mile0

I run outdoors when the weather allows, indoors when it doesn't. I'm doing about 40 miles per week right now and my pace is about a 9:00 - 9:30 min mile depending on whether I'm outside or not (6.3 - 6.7 miles per hour, and it's easier to run faster outside for me than it is on the treadmill.) I usually do hour-long runs on two weekday mornings, a long run on Saturday (10-14 miles right now) and a short Sunday recovery run, with a couple short runs after my strength training sessions too.0

5 days a week, currently 46 miles per week with runs of varying lengths from 6 miles to the mid-teens; may do 20 miles next Saturday. Most miles will be at an easy pace, which for me is between 7:45 and 8:30 per mile.
No dreadmills, lots of outdoor running. Next week I'll start doing some speed work on an indoor track. If I hate it, I can always go back to running outside.
The weekly mileage will ramp up to near 70 miles per week during marathon training. Even then, I won't be running as many miles as @patrikc333; but I don't need to compete with a guy who's 5 age groups younger than me.
LOL, I'm actually looking forward to moving up an AG next year....
OP, my weekly mileage will vary with where I am in a training cycle (my longest races are HM and Olympic distance duathlons). Right now (low season) I probably don't do more than about 30 to 40km per week at the peek of a cycle closer to 80km per week (but I also spend a fair bit of time in the saddle on my bike.....)

4-6 miles, 4-5 times a week. I like to do intervals.
First 20 min, run at 8mph for 2 min, walk at 4mph for 1 min. Next 20 min, 7mph for 2 min, 4mh 1 min, last 20 min, 6mph for 5 min, walk at 4mph for 1min.0 -
I only run twice a week. 5K at 10 minute mile pace during the week and I ride my bike 40 miles at @ 17.5 mph then jump off it and run a 10K at a 12 minute mile pace
My target is not speed at this time in my training cycle. I do the ride and bike consecutively and keep my heart rate in Z2.
It is about running and cycling smoothly and efficiently at an endurance level heart rate.

How many miles per day or workout do you run?
I used to run about 3 times a week and 3 miles each. But we have signed up for the half marathon, we are working up our mileage. Last week, I ran 15 miles.
Do you run with the incline?
I don't run on a treadmill any more. I used to when I first started C25K and use incline 1. Now, I just run outside and my neighborhood has some elevation.
What's your time ? What's your speed?
My best time for 5k is 26:04. If I don't pay special attention and just run 3 miles, I tend to finish under 30 mins. I am working on running more on conversational pace, which would be more like 10:30 to 11 min/mile.

3 miles takes me 1 hour.0

1-2 days a week outside, at 9 minutes per mile
4-5 miles!0 -
Per workout I try to get a 10k warmup. On days I only run I will do nothing short of a half marathon.
No incline when I run indoors but outside is fair game.
Time depends on mileage. I tend to run between a 9-10 minute mile on longer runs (anything over 10k). 8-9 on shorter runs.
You can determine speed by basic math.0 -

So ten miles is a warm up?
And half a Marathon is what??

10k is not 10 miles. It's roughly 6 miles. Half marathon is 13 miles.0 -

I run 2 short runs (never less than 5K), 1 medium run (5-10 miles), and one long run (10-25 miles) per week. The Walt Disney World Marathon is a little over 2 weeks away and I run that every year. I live in Florida so I run outside every single run. I cannot imagine anything more boring than running on a treadmill. I know some of you don't have any alternative, and it's awesome that you're still getting it done, but that has to suck something awful. lol0
