How Much Should You Run? Probably Less Than You Think

  • Kerrie

How Much Should You Run? | Mom vs. Marathon

Do you feel like in a running world of Kara Gouchers, are you an Alysia Montaño?

What I mean is, do you like running shorter distances, but feel like you aren’t running enough because everyone’s all “which marathon should I do next?” or “signed up for my next 50-miler!” or “got my 14-mile run in by 7 a.m.”?

(Okay, obvs Alysia runs a ton, but she’s an 800-meter runner. She races shorter…and faster!)

I’m totally an Alysia these days, except without her cute flower, or her speed, or her abs. But good news! A study by the Mayo Clinic found that just 50 minutes of running a week–A WEEK!–has health benefits, such as reducing your chance of having a stroke, arthritis, diabetes, high cholesterol and blood pressure, and even some cancers, according to this article from Huff Post.

That’s like a mile or two five times a week. That’s it!

I’ve totally been getting less than 3 miles a week, though. (Sometimes less than that.) Like, so far this week, I’ve run about a mile…today…while I was doing sprints while watching Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Working on my RHOBH selfie skills while on the treadmill.

By. The. Freaking. Way. RHOBH fans, SHOW YOURSELVES because I’ve discovered a new podcast you will love. Bitch Sesh is a Real Housewives breakdown podcast hosted by Casey Wilson and Danielle Schneider, and I love it for all its stupid-girly-silly-sarcasticness. I’d abandoned Real Housewives because I just didn’t have anyone to enjoy it with (I work with a bunch of dudes). Now I have a reason to watch again. My favorite Real Housewives was New Jersey. Is that one even still on or are too many of them in jail?

Okay, back to running. So, I have a new goal. Just try to get 50 minutes a week. That’s it. I think I can do it. What about you?
