    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!

    Unless you're a professional runner or frequent racer, I find that 3 miles a day is great. Anything more can be hell on your joints in the long run. Ask your doc.

    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.

    It varies, I usually do between 3-6 miles so 30 to 60 minutes unless I'm specifically training for a 1/2 marathon or something. My longest runs have been 13.1 miles in the races. Haven't made it up to a full marathon yet, maybe one day.

    If you start increasing distance once you can run 5 miles anything beyond that is in your head.

    I'm still jog/walking. I'll do 5-7 minutes jogging (5.0 MPH) and 3-5 brisk walking (3.5MPH). This keeps going for 30-45 minutes.

    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 am naturally a sprinter and not a marathoner. Here's what I did when I started to run regularly:

    Begin by running 24 minutes at a time. Run at a comfortable pace for 8 minutes, then walk 1 minute. Run for 8, and walk for 1, and so on. This will prevent burning out and will maximize your endurance. Take slow, deep breaths and focus on long, slow distances. Do not do two long runs two days in a row, but run at least about 3 times per week. Add 1-2 minutes to your runs each week and keep increasing over time. Obviously, you don't want to be at risk for overuse injuries, so listen to your body. Enjoy your new legs and butt!

    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:
