How much is to much running a day ?

Question

I run 5 miles a day is that to much ?

Answer 1

Too much running is when it affects what you can do tomorrow.

Many distance runners do more than 5 miles each day, so it is not the distance but your ability and level of conditioning that determines how much is too much.

Answer 2

No.

But then again, your age and medical history could make that answer change. Ask your doctor.

Answer 3

NO!!!!!..that actually isnt enough running

Answer 4

That's PERFECT! Way to go! You'll be faster when u do track meets and you'll be in realy good shape!

Answer 5

no, but there is training that does nothing to increase your fitness. That would be junk miles..or if you overtrain, or dont rest enough, your body stays in a breakdown, Unrecovered stage and you never get better

Answer 6

It is up to you if you are in good physical shape, it's not. We did that on a daily basis in high school for a gym class, it took about 20 minutes.
