    The longest I've raced was 10k - 6.2 miles - in 53:12. I could have kept going, but once you cross the finish line and someone hands you a water, you really have no more motivation to run! :laugh:

    I've covered longer distances, but with walk breaks.

    Best so far for me was 7 minutes at 5mph :)
    I'm in the middle of c25k so that should be steadily increasing here soon!!

    About 100 yards and then my knees feel like they are filled with ground up glass for the next three hours.

    However walking at 3.5 mph or better I can pull off for more than an hour now.

    About 25 minutes or so, or just over 2 miles. Then again, I'm not really sure as I hit a massive (and steep hill) at that point in my route which always wipes me out. I don't know if I could go much further on a flat route.... probably not, to be honest.

    25 miles, roughly four and a half hours. I never did finish a marathon without walking a little.

    to be clear, that is my record--I can't do it consistently. When not in race shape, I can usually do 7-8 miles/up to an hour and a half before I really want to walk a little.

    About 200 yards. Of course that'll increase drastically once I get the extra person(in weight) off of me!:bigsmile:

    I'm up to around 2.7 miles. Have a 5k in a week but fighting blisters right now, so taking it easy. Hoping adrenaline will kick in and give me the extra boost I'll need come race day!

    Tuesday I reached 12 miles in 2 hours and 15 minutes. This was done at a slower pace because I never ran that far before. I am training for my first half which is next Saturday :smile:

    Haven't actually tried for longest distance without stopping in many years.... Today, I ran for a solid hour with my camelbak (about 20lbs total) on my back and then rode my bike for an hour... If I was going to guess, I probably ran about 10 minute miles... Every once in a while, I'd stop and do 10 miitary pushups; then immediately start running again... I' ve dropped 60 lbs and have a ways to go to my goal weight.... Hope to do a triathlon in the spring......

    I did 10 straight minutes today - was doing C25k and skipped out a couple of 90seconds, so did two sets of 5 and then a 10.

    Previously (about 2 years ago) I could run a lot longer, and a lot further. I am to get back to that as soon as possible. My longer runs were 10 miles ish.

    I am up to 90 minutes/9 miles and hope to increase that to be able to do a half marathon soon! I couldn't run more than 30 seconds in March without having to stop.....It gets SO much easier with repetition and slowing down!

    I'm training for my first marathon. In the past few weeks I've done runs of 13.5, 15, and 16 miles. I did the 16 in about 2 1/2 hours.

    I was able to run 3 miles in my 6th week of my C25K training..I just kept pushing and really wanted to achieve that mark. At first, it was tough..I found myself tiring about 1/2 way through a 5K but now i can manage a 30 minute run....my 60 minute runs are rare, can't seem to feel strong enough to maintain a 5miler, but im getting there. Hoping to do Bridge25K as well...anyone know a site where i can follow that?

    36 minutes at 6.7 mph (4 miles) is my best so far. On most days I run 25 to 30 minutes. I will admit that the last time I did the 36 minutes was because I wanted a burger and fries from 5 Guys for lunch. It doesn't say much about my motivation but there it is:)
