Question for runners....
How many miles a week do you run? What is considered good?
I just started to really get into running as my primary source of exercise. (I was doing workout DVDs prior) I run 4 miles a day at least 5x a week.
Just wondering how that ranks because I was pretty impressed with myself 
TIA!!

Re: Question for runners....
Although I don't consider myself a serious runner, I run 3x a week and 3-4 miles at a clip. There are definitely "true" runners on here that log some mileage. I guess it depends on your goal. Some people are distance runners and others have the need for speed.

Re: Question for runners....
I would say 20 miles a week is a decent amount of running. If you want to increase it, just remember not do increase more than 10% per week. Any time, people get out and run on a consistent basis, I think that is a real accomplishment to be proud of. I do a lot of races and I run 45-50 miles a week.

Re: Question for runners....
Sounds good to me! Some advice would be to start some cross training!
When I'm not training for anything I aim for 15-20 miles per week running. Right now I am around 30-40 miles per week that bc I am training for a marathon!

That's a good amount of running. I do anywhere from 16-20 a week.

Re: Question for runners....
Thank you for the responses. Im definitely not running marathons anytime soon; I just wanted to know how well I was actually doing compared to those who run a lot.
Its a good stress reliever thats for sure, I might be ready for a marathon sooner then I think

18-20 miles a week right now. A lot of it is treadmill running though. I've been getting home too late to do much outdoor running and I'm a little skittish running at night by myself.
