[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is your pace?
How long does it take you to run 5-6miles verse running 2 miles?

Seems like a hassle to run for 2 miles, I feel like I'm just getting started at the point. Plus, I took the time to change out into my running stuff and stretch. It almost takes me longer to get ready than to actual run.

2 miles is all, of what, 15 minutes? Are you doing it an aerobic pace or just a leisure (you can still talk) run?[/quote]

It takes me about 26 mins to run 2 miles. I can't talk because i am actually pretty winded running. I have been running for two years and it had always been like this. [/quote]

13 min miles OP? And that's running? It would take you all afternoon to run 5 or 6 miles ( which, by the way, isn't considered long distance).
Your post doesn't say, but how much time were thinking og allotting for a 6 mile run?[/quote]

Do you enjoy being an asshole?

People are at all different stages of their fitness and running. Is there something developmentally wrong with you, that you can't understand that basic concept?

When I first started running (a year and a half ago) I was doing 13 minute miles. I'm now down to about 9 minute miles for a 5k/10k. For me, that's awesome. It's not about the number, but about achieving your personal goals. I currently run about 12-16 miles a week. I don't particularly give a crap if that's "long distance" or not.

Or I could quit because poor, poor me is not as fast and far as pp. Or maybe I'm just not worried about others, but focused on my own benchmarks  :-)

OP--- I think it depends on your goals. If you're more focused on cardio health, I think short, frequent runs will be better. But if you're looking to improve endurance, less frequent, longer runs will be better. It really depends on what you're after. [/quote]
