    Never!
    You dont need cardio to lose weight.
    It helps but isnt necessary!
    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"

    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!
