I used to run a lot, cross country in high school, a marathon four years ago. Weaning myself off cigarettes and establishing a demanding-though-not-exhausting running routine is my goal for the spring.
My best 5k was 17:10. Mile was around 5:08. I'm wasted over short distances.The longer, generally, the better.

my best 5k time is 18:45. i trained by listening to a lot of Rage Against the Machine i get concerned about running too much and dealing with bad knees and hips in the future. i run 4 miles (~32 min) twice a week and three miles (~24 min) twice a week.
your concern for your knees and hips is as warranted as strippers fearing attention.

my old man ran 4-5 miles a day 4-5 times a week and has two new hips based on the running he did. i had knee surgery in 93 and there are days that both knees bother the shit out of me...and i'm 33. i think the concern is valid

Actually yes, but i'm not sure i'm doing it right. How exactly do you work yours?
i like to kinda lean back and then bring my feet up- kinda like crunches. i'll do 20 and then i'll do the same motion with a twist to hit the obliques.
