Just wondering what the longest run is we've ever put in on a treadmill. The baby wouldn't sleep last night, and I didn't get enough sleep to get up at 4:30 and do an 11 miler before summer school.

So, I have to either do it outside in the sweltering heat, or in the basement on the treadmill.

This will be my longest treadmill run ever, I think...

What is yours?

45 minutes in one go

I'd choose heat and humidity over a treadmill any day. My longest was 2M until I got so bored I literally fell off.

8 miles of pure boredom.

7 or 8. The peeps at the Y start giving you the evil eye if you hog the treadmill for too long though.

7.5 or 8. Yuck.
Good luck! My attention span gets thin around 5 on the treadmill...

I don't get bored on the treadmill. I think the unwavering pace to be an excellent way to really zone out.

15 of the most boring, painful miles of my life. Never again!

9 miles of sheer hell. I wish I could zone out as I do outside but I can't...

I just finished.

11 miles.

It wasn't easy. But it wasn't bad either.
Glad I have one at home, so I can watch what I want, and don't have to worry about other people wanting to get on.

I actually think it's great training to do a long run on the treadmill now.....since I've done them....I think I have better patience during my marathons to hold back :)

7 miles. I was only going to go 6, but I fell asleep and ran an extra mile before I woke up.

Little too much info, there, Mark...
