5 mile daily run/jog

@leiramirez1 Come join us in the August 2017 Running Challenge

Go to Pg1 and there is some info on setting up a Monthly Ticker for keeping track of your accomplishments, whether in miles or kilometers.

I walk on treadmill 5 km every day for 2 months till now

I am doing a Mile three times a week to work up to 5k and also I am lifting 4 days a week and heavy bag/mma workout 5 days a week.

I aspire to getback into running. I think I need to lose 20-30 more pounds first. Making progress. Should be there by December.

R u a runner?? If ur not. .u don't need to do 5 k every morning...1 or 2 miles 2...3 times a week it's perfect.
I don't think a runner does 5k everyday.

I'm just questioning because you say you're going to "try" doing this, which gives the impression that you're not. Not to mention, even seasoned runners try to vary their mileage throughout the week. You will hit a wall eventually in improvement by running the same distance over and over again.

'Eh, this isn't necessarily true.

I run anywhere from 8-13 miles/day. I love running and the fact that it doesn't require the rest days that lifting does.

I'm not saying that it isn't possible nor unsafe to a seasoned runner. But one has to work up to that point. By the way the original post sounded, this is not the case.

But I could be completely wrong about my assumptions. Even then, caution should be acknowledged to any new runner potentially reading this thread and believing this is a good idea to start with.

But even then, you are still varying the distance. Op is not. There will be little to no improvement after initial gains if the distance stays constant.

Hey guys, so I usually do 3 miles, 3 1/2 miles every day but I wanted to bump it up to 5 miles to push myself a little bit. I wouldn't call myself a runner, there's a track right by my house so I just take advantage of it.

If you've been regularly running 3-3.5 miles, taking it up to 5 shouldn't cause injury. If you're worried though, try increasing by .5 mile at a time to slowly work your way up to it. Good luck!
