How long do you ladies run?

Until the ice cream truck stops

Bwahahahahahahaha! :laugh:

I find that I limit myself. I can actually do more than I think, maybe if you do what you feel comfortable doing and then continue with less intensity for a bit longer until you work up to more time? Just a suggestion. My problem is I GET BORED easily!

I run no less than 4 miles. Currently my mileage is been around 5-6 miles + long runs b/c I'm training for a marathon.

I just started jogging. My first day I ran for like 30 seconds before I felt I had to stop, but every day I pushed harder and harder. I jog/walk every time I go, I am starting out small and building up. Yesterday I did my best, I ran a full length of a straight way, which was hard but I pushed it. What normally took me an hour to walk/jog took me 27 minutes. I pushed it hard, felt great that I did and I felt like it got a little easier. I hate that I had to miss my jog today, but tomorrow it's on!

i usually run 4k under 40 mins. 5 days a week. just keep at it. i promise you CAN get up to 30 mins. just keep trying with all your might to add on that extra 30 seconds each time. it helps if you run with a buddy, you guys can motivate each other.

I am up to about an hour, or 7 miles. Working on going further.

3 to 4x per week I run 5km at a 10:1 ratio....

Usually 5 to 5.5 miles in the morning, avg 5.2 to 5.5 mph.

I started with Couch to 5k about a year and a half ago, and at the time, I could barely run 2 minutes straight.

I've done a 10k race without walking, but I've come to realize that I'm most comfortable adding a few walk intervals every couple miles. Typically, I run between 3 and 7 miles, about three times a week. My average running-by-myself pace is about a nine minute mile... slower during long runs, faster during races.

I started c25k in December much like you, totally new to running. Now I do 2.5 miles 2x week and am building to longer weekend runs - I'm pushing for a 5 mile race in August.

I'm S.L.O.W though :laugh:

I started C25K last August. The longest I could run was 5 min w/out stopping. I now run for about 2 1/2 hours. I've completed 5-6 5k's, a 10k trail run, 2 5 mile cross country runs and in April two half marathons. And I'm 43 yrs old. I'll be running my first marathon on Oct 7th.

You can do anything you set your mind to. Keep running until it's not hard, which is about mile 4. When your breathing settles, your heart rate slows down and your muscles are warm...I call it the "Golden Mile".

I do not run really "fast"...it doesn't matter how fast or slow...just run..enjoy it! You're lapping A LOT of people sitting their *kitten* on the couch!

I'm pretty in shape and training for a ten k, so my mileage right now is about 35 miles a week. I do several 5 mile runs, a tempo or speed work adding up to about 7 miles, and a long run 13-14 miles.
I love to run! But no matter how much you do, keep it up. It only gets better!

This seems like training for a half marathon, not a 10k. I would say you've met the training for the 10k and should just go for a half!

I have FINALLY made it to 5K! Running my first race on Sunday. It takes me about 32 minutes to run that, so I'm not very fast!

50 minutes non stop 3-4 times a week

Depends on where I'm at in race prep... my long runs can be anywhere from 5 - 12 miles. My weekly runs typically don't go past 5. My guess is that you're running too fast. Slow it down a bit, run every other day, and try to add on an extra minute each time. You'll get there. At one point, I couldn't run 1/4 mile (like, 3 minutes) without wanting to jump off a cliff!
