The Right Distance for You

running course example


    Finding a distance that you can handle is difficult, but I recommend running about half the maximum distance you can run as a baseline. If you're trying to increase your weekly mileage, increase it slowly: no more than 5 mile increments every week. Increasing your mileage too fast can result in injury.

Here is a table you can use to convert between miles and kilometers.
