What is considered running long distance?Like running around your back yard over and over?

Question by Katie Cheung: What is considered running long distance?Like running around your back yard over and over?
Does running around your back yard over and over consider running long distance? How about running on treadmill and elliptical machine? Please give some examples of long distance running as well.

Best answer:

Answer by Victoria
Long distance running is what it sounds like, running for long distances.
A mile is considered medium-distance, and so is a 2 mile race.

Long distance begins at the 3 mile mark, but real distance runners know that 100 mile races are the long ones.

Running around your back yard over and over is more so short distance.

If you ran for an hour on a treadmill, that would be long distance running.

What is a good, comfortable running shoe?

Question by Alex: What is a good, comfortable running shoe?
I’ve worn Nike Shox forever, and it’s time for a new pair. The Nikes are comfortable for walking, but I find them not so hot for running. My husband and I have recently taken up running/jogging, and we want to buy some true “running shoes.” Any suggestions from experienced runners? I have a normal arch in my feet, and pretty normal width, if that matters.

Answer by Kutekymmee
everyone’s feet are different, and about the best thing you can do is go to a running store and let them fit you. If you cant do that, go to a shoe store and try on many different pairs to see what feels good.

Nike Shox are not made for running, and you’ll hurt yourself if you try any serious running in them. I recommend Asics or New Balance. With a normal arch and width, the Asics gel 1011 or gel canberra should be fine for you.
