I ran 6.2 miles after a mile swim followed by a 24 mile bike ride. I hate running more than a 10K.

Swim: Now I can say I have swum 7 miles straight... averaged about 5-6 miles a night will at practice in high school/college (Usually not straight but broken into sets/intervals).

Walk: I think 12 miles or so... I've done some 24-26 mile 2-3 day backpacking trips.

Bike: I've done 100 miles on the TOSRV.

Thread is about running and walking. File your other stats under nobody gives a fuck. Nice chest thumping fail.

Ran about 9 miles for soccer during pre-season. Since HS probably like 4 miles outside when I was in shape. Trying to get back there, but Im only up to 2.5 right now, and its on a treadmill since its winter...so its a lot easier.

Walked? I know for sure I walked home from the bars in Maumee to my house in Perrysburg. 7 miles in the fresh snow that had fallen while we were drinking. We got dropped off and were planning on staying 2 blocks from the bar at our friends place. He instead told us his whole family was in town, we had to go home. Walked those 7 miles without hat/glove and 3 of the 5 without coats lol.

Im not sure how long the hike was, but out in Colorado Ive been on a few that were over 13 miles. But hiking, imo, is a lot different than just walking.

Telemarked up to the top of the continental divide, which is one of the best weeks ever. But it was tough! Skiing back down I almost broke my back I fell so hard lol.

Walked 15 miles with a 110 pound ruck in the Army, 15 miles round trip to the tallest peak in Texas with 50 pounds on my back, and I've ran 8 miles up some very hilly roads in Georgia

I forget, is that a sprint triathlon or Olympic distance? Or something else.

Really. I hate running on a treadmill, would much rather run outside. I think it is safer and I get more out of it. I do both since I hate running even more when it get below 40 wind chill.

I would much rather run outside. But I think its tougher, which is good. Treadmill has no terrain issues, no wind, no climate or weather issues, etc. Makes it easier. It isnt good for the joints, but overall easier imo.

I would imagine a treadmill is better for joints than pavement and concrete is.

If we are going for "joint health," then running should be abandoned all together. Walking is much better. Swimming is good too. Biking is good too.

But, I do agree that outside is much better than on a treadmill. I am having some knee issues, so my running has went downhill big time. I'd like to get back into it -- somewhat. I hate running, but I need to get more active.

Agreed. Actual running/jogging is my least favorite form of exercise.

What kind of knee issues?

I think I have a torn meniscus. I saw some athletic trainers about it when I first hurt it (summer 2009). If I can deal with the pain, then I will be able to hold out on surgery. I've dealt with my right knee for several years, probably comes from all the crap I've put it through while playing sports for so many years.

I dont run on concrete and pavement though. Usually go to a track which has that bouncy shit lol. Also the park near my parents house is soft gravel/something. Made specifically for runners. Not sure where I will go when the weather turns around here, just moved. Probably have to find a park.

My stride is different on a treadmill and it feels harder on my knees than running outside.

Very well possible on a treadmill you need to raise the incline one or two levels. Never ever ever run on cement.



ten running surfaces (1 being worst/10 being best) Asphalt: 6 Cinders: 7.5 Concrete: 1 Dirt: 8 Grass: 9.5 Sand: 4 Snow: 2.5 Track (synthetically made tracks): 7 Treadmill: 6.5 Wood Chips: 9</pre>
