[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a little off topic, but I am a new runner (40) and am trying to figure out how much and how often to run. I get a little obsessive about things, and my intention was to run 3-4 times a week, just a couple of miles to make sure I don't get an injury - I have achilles problems. But now a couple miles a few times a week doesn't seem like enough. What's reasonable? How far do people usually go? I am never going to be a good runner, but I just don't know what is typical for a recreational run-for-your-health person in terms of milage...[/quote] I agree with others that there is no fixed rule. It all depends on your goals and your available time. For me, it's mostly about available time. Four years ago (age 40), I was running 4mi 3x/week, plus a long 6-10mi run on the weekend. Two years ago, I ran 2mi per day 5-6x/week. Now, I run 6mi 5x/week, with nothing on the weekends. All depends on when you can fit the run into your schedule. [/quote]
