Anything up to 30ish miles is comfortable to me. But I’ll only do that on trails or particularly scenic roads (both of which I have available on foot from my apartment). And I limit myself to one or two outings like that per quarter. Other than that it’s mostly 3-10 miles per run depending on what I feel like doing.
I’ve been running for 15ish years and probably take a full week off a year if I’m feeling anything uncomfortable that affects my stride. Other than that I try to average 20-40 miles a week depending on the time of year and how I’m feeling overall.
The things I think I do differently from most runners are:
1. My #1 goal is to be running in 30 years. So I’ll sacrifice distance and speed today for that goal.
2. I care about speed very little. I enjoy being outside and moving so probably 1% of my mileage is at a high intensity.
