How many miles can you jog feeling comfortable?

8. After 11 I'm like "**** it".

i can run at least 10, having said that, i dont think anybody feels comfortable when they run, or at least they shouldnt. the fact that you struggle makes you stronger and in this case, gain more stamina.

2 or 3 something like dat lol i dont run.

I run 4 a day. I hate it though because I have to stretch. I get charley horses a lot at night when I'm trying to sleep. I wake up screaming "Ah ****!!!!" and my room mates are knocking on my door thinking I'm being killed.

I run 3 times a week with x2 10k & always a long run on Sundays.

This Sunday i ran longest run yet for me this Sunday 15 miles it took me 2hours 33 mins.Most of that was serious hill work,felt bit sick after for a short while & well spent.Legs still feel a bit tender today.Was worth it am entering a marathon November and need to build miles up.

The 20 miler is next goal in a few weeks.

Just love running!!!

When I started school in 2006 I could do 8 miles comfortably but 3 years of good food and beer guzzling quickly destroyed that. I'm starting to get back into it and I'm back up to 3 mile runs but I pass out on my bed as soon as I get home. :P

I dont really do heaps long runs (more than 4-5 miles) as they aren't really that beneficical in the ams. But I have jogged about 10 miles a few times, and i was pretty tired at the end but it was hot also and i wore a jumper. But really there isn't much point to it, your pace slows to a crawl and it isn't specific at all to boxing.

These days I run 5-6 times per week, with about 3-4 of those running sessions being expolsive sprinting stuff like stair sprinting, 50m sprints, 200's 400's 800's etc. And with usually two 5 mile runs, at a strong balanced pace. And I do the odd 2-3 mile run where I run as hard as I can for that distance.

EDIT: after looking through some of your posts, i mean if you are training to box (especially am) wtf is the point of a 11 or 15 mile run?? Even for a 12 round pro that would just be ******, since their fights go for 48 minutes in total (including breaks) and A run of more than 8 or so miles generally takes over an hour. Im of the opinion now you have to alter your running to what you are fighting, I fight 3x2 min rounds so for a sprint workout i might do 4x2 min rounds of stair sprints, plus 10x50m sprints with a 10 sec break in between each one, then some 400's or 800's. (the extra stuff is just to know you can give everything in the 3 rds, like you know you could fight 4 or 5 hard rounds instead of just 3)

Sprints and short intense runs really are the way to go in am boxing. Long runs are pretty much good for only generally getting into shape, and losing weight for fights.

How long you can run is a major factor in how fast you recover between rounds where as the sprinting keeps you going during the round.....kinda pointless to be able to go all out for a round but hardly recover for the next one

I can do 5 miles comfortably at a good pace
