![[Deleted User]](https://w9.vanillicon.com/99365e64e9658ab8197a9ef1482b0943_100.png)
I do around 20 miles a week just now and looking to up that to 30 a week after christmas with the view of a half marathon in the spring. What milage are other "beginners" coming in at?
as a side note, when do we stop being beginners and start being "runners"??

Hi Amanda. I started running in Feb 2011 and by August, was sidelined through injury (Achilles tendinopathy). I started running again at the end of Jan 2012, so have about a year under my belt, split in two by a long rest.
I have a lot to learn but by taking things sensibly this year (unlike last year), and listening to the advice of the best runners at my club, I don't feel like a fraud when I now define myself as a runner. My miles have been around 35 as I have been prepping for a marathon (on Sat!). I now realise that running is a long game, with gains won over months and longer, and much at stake for the impatient....
How long have you been running?
Its frustrating you can't see results quickly but just gives you the inncentive to keep fit and stay fit!! Xx
