    Thats damn good. I run about two or three times a week. Anywhere from 4 to 8 miles at a time, depending on how Im feeling. 20 a week though is really good.

    Before I was injured I ran 30 miles a week. Have literally only just recovered and started running again today. My longest single run was 15 miles.

    Not much. I run (roadwork actually) about two times a week on average, and I don't run very far either. I would say about 8 miles. A lot of that is sideways and backwards though :D

    I bike about 100 miles a week though, sometimes more.

    Yeah I feel pretty good. I alternate days doing HIIT and long distance and it seems to be working out alright.

    My knees suck.

    I spend more time on a rowing machine, no impact.

    ............You guys do more overall work than I do for sure; running is all I do, not boxing anymore and all.

    On an average maintenance week, it's between 25-30 miles. For marathons, it tops out at about 50-55, which isn't all that much. Elites routinely do 100-120 per week. I know of someone who did 140 one week to celebrate the one year anniversary of her cancer remission. She's a cyborg.
