    At the moment twice a week 10-11.5 kms each time. I don't have more free time than that. In the holidays when we stay with my parents or my husband is home I run every other day.

    Never.

    Unless something really big, and meaner than I am is chasing me.

    LOL, pretty much what I was thinking.

    I run every other day so 4 days a week. I usually run 3.1 miles (5k) and just started taking it up to get ready for a 10k. I also do other cardio on the days in between.

    You dont need cardio to lose weight.
    It helps but isnt necessary!

    Usually at least once a week.... busy schedule with work, school and kids appointments, and I run outdoors- getting dark out at 5pm stinks. Summer will be more often, at least twice, maybe as often as 6 times a week!

    Not all of us are looking to lose weight! I just like getting outside and moving.

    It used to be 3-4 times a week. Now, it's about 0. I think I may be becoming a seasonal runner.

    When it's warm out, daily. When it's cool (like now) 3x... the gym on other days.

    6 days a week. Twice a day on 3 to 5 days depending on how I feel.

    I don't run to lose weight.

    I lose weight to run fast.

    Before my stress fracture, it was 3-4 times a week.

    Now it's been 34 days since I last ran. :frown: Not that I'm counting.

    3 days a week, 15-20 miles. The other days I walk or elliptical. When I was running more than 3 days, my runs would just "suck"

    4-5 times a week. Try and do 15-20 miles per week.

    I try for 3-5 days a week. But lately it's been like 1-3.

    I think 4x week is my happy spot. When I was following a training plan that had me running 5x week it was too much and I was getting burned out.

    Every now and then I'll feel like running extra, so I do, but it's not that often. I like my cross training activities too much. :)

    If I could I would run every day, but I can't,(insert list of reasons why not here) so I try to run a couple of time a week.

    I started the c25k thing which says 3 times per week but being a little quirky i thought i could do it every day which has resulted in the beginnings of shin splints, badly blistered heels (from bad old runners + new insole) and extreme calf pain.

    So going to try actually doing it 3 times per week..... if my heels ever heal up!
