How far should I run?

Answer by  jsmith (2067)

This depends on tons of different factors. If you're just starting out you should aim for a run/walk routine of about 30 minutes and gradually increase the amount of running.

A lot depends on your own goals, the time you have, and your previous training history. If you are new to running, start with just a half-mile and gradually increase the distance and time. Your goal should be to eventually go farther in the same amount of time.

This depends on what kind of shape you're in, how fast you will run, and what you are trying to accomplish. Ask a doctor what distance is best for you.
