Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I run quite a few 1 milers these days as work shifts weather and other variables like time effect what I’m doing, it’s my streak and even when it’s only a mile, the dog is happy, I’m happy if I wasn’t happy I’d just stop!

I hate running so much at the moment that I am just doing a bit over a mile, more if I'm fidgety. But I hate it, and so do not enjoy it at present.

But if I stop I know I'll regret it. :(

@Vixx I sympathise as I feel the same so doing minimal too and if a bit further a run walk though some may say that's cheating but as they say my rules

But I know I'll regret it if I stop its just a phase I'll get through it

Sometimes one measly mile is all one can do...if one is dead tired, broken, etc. Recently, I've tried to start doing 2 milers for my minimum, but there are days when I can only do one measly mile.

When I first started I did at least 5k everyday. Now I have been going to the gym more often and trying to fit in more strength training, so I run mile only at least 1 day a week, sometimes two days.

I see 1 mile as my minimum, but it's personal for each person I guess.

For the longest time when coming off injury, I could only do one mile if I wanted to keep running every day.

I also follow the SRI rule, so one mile at minimum. I do a one-mile streak saver every Wednesday, which feels like a rest day and helps towards keeping me un-injured.

I've also done continuous days of one-mile runs in the past when ill or niggly.

I go with the late Ron Hill’s classification of a mile minimum and that of USRSA

My personal mile rule isn't one I want but one I have to accept because I can't run far these days thanks to symptoms from long COVID. Treatment from COVID consultant is giving a meagre improvement since April. Review happening in November.

So, my average is around 3.5 a day.

You only need to run on the days you eat!
However if you are fasting for any reason you still need to run!
