How long can you run?

@honkiebonkie: 14km is about 8.7 miles... You are doing pretty good readying yourself for the half marathon Good luck.

I cannot run, fact.

 

i can only do jogging.....i can jog for more than 1 hr without stopping...u gotta keep doing that 2 have better stamina....

 

can't we change the thread to how far can you swim? =P i can swim longer than i run ....about 3km running sorta kills me while 4km of swimming is not bad at all...(although it does take a longer time to swim)

 

Swimming? I can swim WAY longer than I run (not a runner/jogger, fact)

Probably around 5k? That's 100 laps on a standard pool right??? Sounds about right...

 

i dont run unless my lifes in danger

 

i can only jog but i can jog nonstop for more than 1 hr...that's d best of me...distance's abt 5 miles...my dad can do way better cos he used to jog on mountain paths....couldn't beat him in anyways cos he has this more tha 10 yrs of acculmulated stamina..he can jog for more than 15 miles non stop on level ground...

 

^That's impressive.. I can jog for a hour non stop. I dont run too much, makes my heart hurt.

 

jupp 100 laps in a 25m pool is about 5k =)

admire you people that can run/jog for an hour or more at a time ...

 

i can't run right now.. recovering from abdominal surgery...

 

@xixi: it just takes practice...

 

About 2 years ago, I hated running. I cannot even run...get out of breath even after running less than half a mile. But then a friend and I started working out together and she enjoyed running. So I slowly started jogging to running and I eventually was able to run 3 miles non-stop. It was not an easy process, it took me approx. 8 months to be able to do this, working out 1.5 hours 5 days a week! It is extremely satisfying after each run. However, now I am using the eliptical just because it's easier on my knees.

 

i run to catch the bus

 

20mins - 1/2 hr on treadmill..;P which is a good enough workout.

 

I can't run for a long time. The max is 5 min, but I can power walk for such a long time. I guess you can't have everything.

 

it's been sooo long since I ran!!! hahahah I don't think I can anymore

 

I C, I C. The calories burnt is about the same with both trend mill and eliptical.
The only difference is that the trendmill makes you stronger i.e. ligaments, bone, heart, etc. so actually, I think trendmill is better.

3 miles in half hour is preety good. I do about the same 5 days a week, plus weights...hehe

 

I didn't like the threadmill as it bothers my knee =_=bbb I guess I need to spend more time stretching...

 

I ran 9 miles when I was bored one day. I was like Forest Gump I just kept on running. Finally went back home cause my flat feet were aching.

 

Hey, I just did the half marathon 22kms (What's that in miles? 14 miles??) last sunday.
It took me 2 hours and a couple of minutes (don't know the exact time yet)

I am just glad i finished. Cos so many parts of my body ached during the race. My left foot still hurts. I think it is all worth it though for the feeling you get when u cross the finish line.

Hmmm... should i consider the full marathon?? sounds scary...
