    65 mins. (thats the longest the ones here let you stay on) And I was walking at 4.0 so I could read. I pretty much just did it since I didn't want to workout at all that day.

    I think my longest was 4 miles, so around 40-45 minutes. I had the TV in front of me, internet, and good music on, and it was still torture. I live-Tweeted my misery the whole time. I'd rather run barefoot, in the rain, in the dark, in a cotton shirt than do more than 2 miles on the treadmill.

    Walking I've probably gone an hour, but at least you can read when you walk.

    About three and a half hours, for half marathon training runs. But I actually like the treadmill - I have one at my house, in the room with the biggest TV. Pop in a movie and go!

    200 minutes to "celebrate" my very last day weighing over 200 pounds.

    Wouldn't 200 calories of rum be more fun?

    I have a weird idea of fun, I guess. Ran for 100 minutes when hit the -100 mark. The 200 minutes was a 10 mile walk.

    1 hr and 20 minutes. It can be boring but I only do that at home so I can put a good chick flick on and watch that, then time goes quite quick. Plus the incline on my treadmill at home is broken so its just a flat walk, nothing too strenuous. At the gym, where they have different programs on the treadmill, I go on there for 45 - 50 minutes max because the workout is more intense.

    I try to do 40 minutes for 5 days a week. I would like to do more but am building up to it due to injuries and chronic pain issues. I don't find it boring at all. As long as I have some good music to rock out to I'm happy.

    Probably about 2 hours while doing training for my half marathon. Found out that my treadmill counter doesn't go past 99:59. It resets. Every time. Pretty damn annoying.

    Over an hour... but that was years ago. I wouldn't do that anymore. I prefer to run or walk outside.

    After 60 minutes I just get bored, but then I switch and do the elliptical or stationary bike (or both) if I'm really in need of the cardio

    I last about 10 minutes on the dreadmill before I get bored out of my skull. I'd much rather run outside.

    Running on snow is like running on the wings of an angel. Or maybe more like running on a soft trail. Either way I'm all for it.

    200 hours. I had to do a 20 miler for marathon trianing but the weather was bad. I had to stop at 18 miles as I wanted to kill myself from bordom.

    Ok so it was only 5 hours but it felt like 200 hours.

    1 hour but it wasn't that bad. My gym has a movie room with treadmills so I watched a movie the entire time.
