I try to run every night. I normally run between 3-6 miles.Best time is 2 miles in ~8:30

if you can run 2 miles in an 8:30 I should see you on TV!!!

Ran cross country and track in high school... hated every minute of it! I get chronic shin splits, so I don't incorporate running into my routine. I'd rather bike.

My record for 3.1 miles was a 17 minutes, 4 seconds (My coach could do it in about 14 minutes, 15 seconds. Talk about freakish.)

Record for a mile was right around 5 minutes.

Kenenisa Bekele set a new world record for the two miles at the Norwich Union Grand Prix in Birmingham on Saturday.
The Ethiopian took 0.34 off the mark of eight minutes 04.69 seconds run by countryman Haile Gebrselassie at the same National Indoor Arena in 2003.

I have DLed 90x and just cannot force myself to work out in front of my tv

i just got done with a 10k run in an hour. im 20 years old 220lbs and i think thats pretty **** good for a fat guy. anyone else run daily or weekly? what are your times?

thats pretty darn good actually for your weight, u were running at a 10 minute pace each mile since 10k = 6.2 miles.. i could maintain 6 miles at an 8 minute pace or a bit less, maybe 7:30. Good job.

How tall are you?

9:30 is still good, cuz thats under the 5 minute mark wich is still pretty intense.

****, all your times are making me realize how out of shape I am. I just started working out a month ago but I have gained 12lbs. 3 years ago when I was working out a lot, I ran more and lifted more but I also weighed about 25lbs more. Running is so boring to me, it's hard for me to get into it. Playing basketball helps.

I run on a treadmill, cant stand it.. Never ran outside (for fitness) The most I will do on a mill is 2 miles and its at a slow pace. I think my poor running caveman form kills me. For my cardio, its either 5-10 miles on a bike or elliptical. I can push so much harder on an elliptical because its less punishing on the joints
