How far were you running when you first started exercising, and how far did you run the last time?

I'm trying to figure out how far I should be running, as I ran 2 and a half miles yesterday and I'm not sure if that's enough.

You're talking to Logan but I'm gonna chip in and tell you that it isn't distance that matters, it's time/caloric expendature. That is, assuming you're trying to lose weight instead of actually train for distance running.

i exercised for like 2 hours every day. about an hour of that being running/jogging/something aerobic.

but it was something like 3 1/2 to 4 miles to answer your question.

I don't think I could exercise for two hours straight, at least not yet.

I exercised yesterday in the morning before work, and then when I got home from work, and then before I went to bed and it was probably around two hours or so total. I plan to do the same today.

Of course it's probably more beneficial to do it all at once than spread out over the day.

No pretty much any activity that gets your heart rate up for prolonged periods works

ive jog/ran 30 min straight every night for over a week. I usually go more than 2 miles in that time. Although I did run for 40 mins and covered 2.7 miles in one night. Ive lost about 10-15 pounds since a little before christmas

the weight i lost so far isnt that noticeable i guess. my stomach is a little tighter i suppose. more noticeable is how far my endurance has gained.
