2-3 hours..I do strength training ..push ups, pull ups, dips, plyometrics & weights afterwards.. I do hills & stairs as a mix up too...Total is 4-5 hrs.. I run with my wife so our pace depends on if we're both feeling it or not that day. if running alone I'm faster than her, but that's our time/our thing... Since its a major part of my life & chunk of my day, I can't imagine having a significant other that doesn't run too.. But I have lots of runner friends where their spouse doesn't at all.

You have to work up to double digits.. Don't obsess over the mileage, that comes naturally later.. Focus on proper form, breathing rhythm, pace/cadence & make sure you have the proper shoe type for your feet. Don't wait for the shoes to be totally worn or you're injured or feeling pain before changing shoes.. Depending on the shoe 300-400 mi, they're usually done for me.. some really nice shoes Ive gotten 500+ mi out of Asics Nimbus. I alternate several pairs of shoes & check off each day I ran & write the shoe model so I know the approximate mileage. Ill also write the date I started using them on the back heel raised part or inside under the insole so it doesn't rub off with usage...sole/tread wear.. Then depending on your daily mileage you can guesstimate when they're about done before you start feeling it in your feet, ankles, knees, etc...

Most important is that you're comfortable, & you enjoy it. Don't focus on the mileage, if you're comfortable, pain free & enjoy running... The mileage comes naturally...

I'd recommend anything by Garmin. I have the Forerunner 110 and it is excellent for my needs (tracking mileage, hr monitoring, calories burned [if you believe the calculation])

Anyone having issues? Used my card for a $59 order. Red message stated balance was now 0 after using. CSR assured me I still had a $141 balance. Tried using it again and shows balance 0 and unable to place order.

just call customer service. they will solve the problem (or do the order over the phone)
